Effect of tualang honey against KA-induced oxidative stress and neurodegeneration in the cortex of rats

Table 6 Effect of KA-induced excitotoxicity on the number of FJC-positive cells in the piriform cortex

Subgroups	FJC-positive cells Median (IqR) (n = 6)					Kruskal-Wallis test (N = 30)
Subgroups	CONTROL	KA	TH + KA	TPM + KA	ASP + KA	χ2 stat (df)	p value
24H	0	225.50 (54.25)^a	101.67 (30.08)^a,b	151.33 (55.34)^a,b,c	161.50 (53.92)^a,b,c	26.17 (4)	0.0000
48H	0	168.67 (18.00)^a	94.00 (7.16)^a,b	136.67 (40.50)^a,b,c	168.84 (32.66)^a,c	24.71 (4)	0.0001

The results were expressed as the median (IqR). The significant difference was determined by non-parametric test, Kruskal-Wallis test followed by Mann-Whitney U post-hoc test with p < 0.05 indicates statistically significant difference. ^a p < 0.05 versus control group (MW); ^b p < 0.05 versus KA group (MW); ^c p < 0.05 versus KA + TH group (MW)
