Rats’ performances in the dark‒light box. The graphs show the latency to the 1st cross to the light side (A) and the percentage of time spent in the light chamber (B) among the experimental groups: the control group, MSG (monosodium glutamate), Vit D (vitamin D), N-3 PUFAs (omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids) and the combined treatment group (MSG + Vit D + N-3). Data are expressed as the median (IQR) (n = 10 per group). Data are expressed as the median (IQR). Symbols above individual bars indicate a significant P value of < 0.05 for multiple pairwise comparisons between groups according to Dunn’s multiple comparison test; (a): for significance vs. control; (b): for significance vs. MSG; (c): for significance vs. Vit D; and (d): for significance vs. N-3 PUFAs.
