Effect of ECJM on Morris water maze test. (a) Effect of ECJM on escape latency in the Morris water maze test. (b) Effect of ECJM on occupancy time of the target quadrant in the Morris water maze test. (c) Effect of ECJM on latency to reach a hidden platform. (d) Effect of ECJM on latency to reach an exposed platform. (1) Sham group: injection of 0.9% NaCl and oral administration of water. (2) Control group: injection of Aβ25-35 and oral administration of water. (3) ECJM50 group: injection of Aβ25-35 and oral administration of ECJM (50 mg/kg/day). (4) ECJM100 group: injection of Aβ25-35 and oral administration of ECJM (100 mg/kg/day). (5) Donepezil group: injection of Aβ25-35 and oral administration of donepezil (5 mg/kg/day). Values are the . One-way ANOVA was used to compare the mean values of groups, followed by Duncan’s multiple-range test post hoc. Different alphabet letters (a, b) indicate statistically significant difference (). Mean values with the same letter are not significantly different. NS: nonsignificance.
