Fig. 1From: Serotonergic and noradrenergic response of ethanol extract; opioidergic response of ethyl acetate extract of Dicranopteris linearis L. leafa-b: Observation parameters of Pentobarbitone Induced Sleeping Time Test (PIST). Figure represented the latency to sleep (a) and duration of sleep (b) in minutes exhibited by the respective groups of mice. DLAQ = Aqueous extract of D. linearis, DLET = Ethanol extract of D. linearis, DLEA = Ethyl Acetate extract of of D. linearis. Data represented as mean + SEM and analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett t test where *, **, *** denoted p < 0.05, p < 0.01 and p < 0.001 respectively and statistically significant. All groups (n = 6) were compared to controlBack to article page
