Figure 2

Evaluation of the spatial memory by the water maze test. The columns represent means ± SEM of the time (s) to find the platform. The studied groups were SO and ischemic animals untreated or after oral treatments with 3, at the doses of 5 and 10 mg/kg (number of animals per group: SO = 28; ISC = 27; ISC + ω3 (5) = 14; ISC + ω3 (10) = 14). (A) versus SO, q = ; (B) versus 3 (5), q = ; (C) versus 3 (10), q = (one-way ANOVA and Newman-Keuls test as the post hoc test).
