Hydroxytyrosol does not improve locomotion. Distance moved [cm], velocity [cm/s], frequency and duration [s] were assessed like index of locomotion and anxiety. Overall, there was no dietary effect observed on locomotor activity and anxiety level assessed by open field. The time spent in the central zone significantly decreased at day 30 post ischemia in control mice compared to baseline while no difference was observed in HT-fed mice. Values represent mean ± sd. Control: n = 8, HT: n = 8. Statistical analysis was carried out with two-way RM ANOVA followed by Holm Sidak's post hoc test for multiple comparisons (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.005).
