Source sentences
PAR-extinction testing showed that PAR latencies were treatment dependent (p < 0.001) due to the fact that PD and PD-exp treated animals displayed better performance.

The present study investigated the behavioural effects of this peptide derivative PD (100 mg/kg b.wt.), a related experimental peptide derivative PD-exp (1 mg/kg b.wt.) and a 0.9% saline control, on passive avoidance reaction (PAR) of 24-month-old male and female rats.
Rats were pre-treated chronically for 7 days.
Passive avoidance procedure started one day after the last subcutaneous injection with a single PAR-acquisition training session.
