Involvement of GABAergic neurotransmission in the anxiolytic effect of essential oils and ethanolic extracts of L. alba, L. sidoides, and L. gracilis in the light/dark test (0–5 min). The values represent the mean ± standard error of the mean of six animals/group; ANOVA followed by Tukey’s test (* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001, vs. control; # p < 0.05, ## p < 0.01, #### p < 0.0001 vs. DZP or Lippia). LaEO: Lippia alba essential oil; LsEO: Lippia sidoides essential oil; LgEO: Lippia gracilis essential oil; LaEE: Lippia alba ethanolic extract; LsEE: Lippia sidoides ethanolic extract; LgEE: Lippia gracilis ethanolic extract; DZP: diazepam; Fmz: flumazenil.
