Fig. 2 Effect of ceftriaxone and its combination with glutamate modulators on body weight in MPTP-administered rats. Data was expressed as mean±S.E.M.’s. aP≤0.01 as compared to sham control; bP<0.05 as compared to MPTP-treated group; cP<0.05 as compared to CFX (100); dP<0.05 as compared to MEM (20). (Two-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni's test). MPTP: 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine, CFX: Ceftriaxone, MEM: Memantine, DHK: Dihydrokainate.
