Prophylactic Chronic Zinc Administration Increases Neuroinflammation in a Hypoxia-Ischemia Model

Figure 6

Effect of chronic administration of zinc on learning and long-term memory after hypoxia-ischemia in rats. (a) Graph showing the time course of the latency to reach the escape platform expressed as the mean value of four events of a daily evaluation per rat in the Morris water maze ( rats per group). Graphs showing the long-term memory latency (b) and the number of platform position crossings determined on day 7 after the training, that is, on day 12 after reperfusion (c) ( rats per group). The values are the mean ± SEM. when compared with the control group; unpaired Student’s -test; .
