Effect of oral administration of SVE or diazepam on the behaviour of mice in Light–dark test. SVE or diazepam was administered 30 min before the test. Control group received saline 30 min before the test. The animal behaviour was evaluated for a period of 5 min. The upper (A) and lower (B) panels depict the effects of SVE or diazepam (DZP) on time spent and number of entrance into light chamber, respectively. Each bar represents the mean value + SEM of 10 mice. * P < 0.05 significantly different from control group (Dunnett’s test).
