Fig 1 (a) Latency in MWM for old animals in short-term testing. Mean (sd) (n = 11 per group). No differences between the groups (P = 0.58). (b) Latency in MWM for diabetic animals in short-term testing. Mean (sd) (n = 7 per group). No differences between the two groups (P = 0.64). CPB, cardiopulmonary bypass.

Fig 2 (a) Boxplot (medians and minimum/maximum values) IL-6 levels for the old animal groups. No differences between the groups at each time point. (b) Boxplot (medians and minimum/maximum values) IL-6 levels for the diabetic animal groups. IL-6 levels were significantly higher in the CPB group (*) when compared with sham animals at time point 90 CPB (P = 0.002) and 1 h post (P = 0.005). CPB, cardiopulmonary bypass.
