(a and b) Evaluations of stereotyped behaviors of experimental rats during an 8-week period. Data are expressed as the mean ± SEM. (n = 10 rats/group). The initial scores before treatments showed no differences among groups (p > 0.05). However, after 3 weeks of treatments, both NDG and Hal made a significant decrease in ethological recording scores compared with the TS model rats treated with NS (Apo + NDG group vs Apo + NS group, p < 0.01; Apo + Hal group vs Apo + NS group, p < 0.01; IDPN + NDG group vs IDPN + NS group, p < 0.01; IDPN + Hal group vs IDPN + NS group, p < 0.05), while there was no remarkable differences in score recording between these two treatments in either Apo or IDPN induced group. (Apo + NDG group vs Apo + Hal group, p > 0.05; IDPN + NDG group vs IDPN + Hal group, p > 0.05). a: #p < 0.05, significant difference between Apo + NDG group and Apo + NS group; *p < 0.05, significant difference between Apo + Hal group and Apo + NS group. b: #p < 0.05, significant difference between IDPN + NDG group and IDPN + NS group; *p < 0.05, significant difference between IDPN + Hal group and IDPN + NS group.
