Table 1.
Comparison of the results of light–dark box model (time spent and number of entries into lightbox) and open field test (number of quadrants invaded and central compartment resting time) among the different treated and control groups.
| Groups | Light Dark Box Model | Open Field Test | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Time Spent in Light Box | Number of Entries in the Lightbox | Number of Quadrant Invasion | Central Compartment Resting Time | |
| Positive control | 144 ± 73 | 5 ± 2 | 76 ± 19 | 11 ± 9 |
| Negative control | 52 ± 34 | 2 ± 2 | 19 ± 5 | 2 ± 2 |
| LSP dispersion | 76 ± 32 | 4 ± 1 | 44 ± 12 | 3 ± 2 |
| LSP-NLCs | 119 ± 10 * | 7 ± 2 * | 75 ± 22 ** | 6 ± 2 * |
Data are presented as mean ± S.D (n = 3). Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s test. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01 among treated vs. negative control.
