Dietary Mercury Exposure Resulted in Behavioral Differences in Mice Contaminated with Fish-Associated Methylmercury Compared to Methylmercury Chloride Added to Diet

Figure 2

Mice behavior in a Y-shaped maze. Spontaneous alternations were recorded for 5 min (mean ± SEM, 𝑛=8). The asterisk indicates a significant difference between the spontaneous alternations presented in the Y maze by mice fed the fish-containing diet compared to those fed the control diet, as determined with a one-way ANOVA followed by a Dunnett’s multiple comparison method, ^∗𝑃<0.05, and ^∗∗𝑃<0.01.
