Fig. 1. Effects of drinking water temperature on the learning ability, memory, body weight, and gastric function of Kunming mice.

Fig. 1

Equal amounts of water (10 mL/kg) at temperatures corresponding to the most common habits of humans, namely, normal temperature (25 °C) and ice water (0 °C) were given to the mice intragastrically 2 times/day for 15 consecutive days. a The escape latency in the passive avoidance test was calculated. Mean ± SEM; *P < 0.05, n = 6. b The body weight was measured and calculated every 2 days. Mean ± SEM; n = 6, *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01 vs. 25 °C; #P < 0.05 and ##P < 0.01 vs. 4 °C. The gastric emptying rate (c n = 3) and pepsin activity (d n = 3) were measured and calculated. Mean ± SEM; *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01.
