Pomegranate Supplementation Improves Affective and Motor Behavior in Mice after Radiation Exposure
Figure 2
Control females spent more time in the dark than control males (suggesting heightened anxiety). (a) Radiation induced more exploration of the open quadrants in females (suggesting reduced anxiety and/or abnormal exploratory behavior), but this effect was blocked by pomegranate. (b) Interestingly, radiation did not affect males’ performance, but pomegranate consumption in nonirradiated males induced behavior similar to those of females; *.
