Effects of IAN-X, IAN-X + MC (i.p. and m.i.) and IAN-X + saline (i.p. and m.i.) administration on the number of the masticatory sequences during 5 min continuous recording (A), mean masticatory sequence time (B), food PP period duration (C) and RC period duration (D), number of the chewing cycle within the RC period (E). The IAN-X had large effects on the properties of the masticatory behaviors: decrease in the total number of masticatory sequences during 5 min continuous recording, elongation of the total masticatory sequence time as well as the food PP period and shortening the RC period. It is notable that administration of MC improved the masticatory movements in IAN-X rats. (*) denotes the significant difference among the condition of the rats (p < 0.05, one ways ANOVA with tukey test).
