Figure 3 Behavioral assessment of rats after model establishment. A: Sucrose preference test; B: Animal movement trajectories; C: Total distance traveled; D: Average velocity; E: Immobility time (%); F: Time in center zone; G: Number of center zone entries; H: Abdominal withdrawal reflex score. ^aP < 0.01 vs Sprague-Dawley (SD)-modified, ^bP < 0.01 vs Wistar-sham, ^cP < 0.05 vs SD-modified, ^dP < 0.05 vs Wistar-sham, ^eP < 0.01 vs pre-SD-sham, ^fP < 0.05 vs pre-SD-modified, ^gP < 0.05 vs pre-Wistar-model. SD: Sprague-Dawley; AWR: Abdominal withdrawal reflex.
