Aβ Damages Learning and Memory in Alzheimer’s Disease Rats with Kidney-Yang Deficiency

Figure 2

Rats were trained and tested in the Morris water maze without platform. (a) The time spent in the platform quadrant at different time points. (b) The average time spent in the platform quadrant for 5 days. Kidney-yang deficiency rats decreased the time spent in the platform quadrant significantly, compared to the control (*𝑃<0.01, unpaired Student’s t-test). (c) At the fifth day, average entering times to the platform quadrant. The times when Kidney-yang deficiency rats entered platform quadrant after removing the platform decreased significantly (𝑃<0.05, unpaired Student’s t-test). 𝑛=13 for control, 16 for model.
