Figure 2.

Exploration time of familiar and new objects in the object recognition task (ORT). The graphic shows the exploration time of each object—familiar or new—among the experimental groups. Animals from the sham group (S: F- ± 4.1, N- ± 5.2, n = 11) spent more time exploring the new object, as expected—* p < 0.05. Rotenone administration (R_WS: F- ± 6.8, N- ± 7.0, n = 10) led to an impairment in object recognition memory (p = 0.80), which was prevented in supplemented animals (R_Sup: F- ± 5.4, N- ± 8.8, n = 12)—** p < 0.01. Data are expressed as mean (SD).
