Figure 1:

Effect of High fructose diet on % of alternation of female rats measured in the Y-maze test. The data are presented as mean ± S.E.M. The significance level is 0.05 with * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, and *** p < 0.001.

Figure 2:

Effect of High fructose diet on recognition memory performance of female Wistar rats evaluated in the OR test. The data are presented as mean ± S.E.M. The significance level is 0.05 with * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, and *** p < 0.001.

Figure 3:

Behavioral performances of adult female rats in to the Morris Water maze. A – Escape latency during the acquisition phase expressed in seconds; B – The percentage of time spent in the target quadrant. The data are presented as mean ± S.E.M. The significance level is 0.05 with * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, and *** p < 0.001.
