Fig. 1 Comparison of time latencies between groups. Rats in control group (n=8) received saline injection. Animals in scopolamine (Sco) group (n=6) were injected by scopolamine 30min before Morris water maze test. In scopolamine+glucosamine 1g (Sco+GlcN 1g) and scopolamine+glucosamine 2g (Sco+GlcN 2g) groups (n=6 in each group) the animals were treated by 1 and 2g/kg of glucosamine respectively, before scopolamine and then were tested in Morris water maze. The injections were given for 5 consecutive days. Data are presented as means±SEM. ***P<0.001 compared to control group, +P<0.05 and ++P<0.01 compared to scopolamine group.

Fig. 2 Comparison of traveled distances between groups. Rats in control group (n=8) received saline. In scopolamine (Sco) group (n=6) scopolamine was injected 30min before Morris water maze test. In scopolamine+glucosamine 1g (Sco+GlcN 1g) and scopolaimne+glucosamine 2g (Sco+GlcN 2g) groups (n=6 in each group) the animals were treated by 1 and 2g/kg of glucosamine respectively, before scopolamine and then were tested in Morris water maze. Data are presented as mean±SEM. ***P<0.001 compared to control group, +P<0.05 and +++P<0.001 compared to Sco group, $P<0.05 compared to Sco+GlcN 1g group.

Fig. 3 The results of the time (s) spent in target quadrant (Q1) during the probe trial on day 6 (24h after the last secession of learning). Data are shown as mean±SEM of 6–8 animals per group. The platform was removed, and the time spent in the target quadrant (Q1) was compared between the groups. *P<0.05 to control group.
