Effect of Spondias mombin Ethylacetate Fractions (S1 — S7) on Novelty-Induced Grooming (NIG) Behaviour in Mice. One-way ANOVA revealed that there is significant difference between various treatment groups; F(8, 38) = 19.84, P < 0.001. Each bar is mean ± SEM. (n = 6) for control and the ethylacetate fractions and 5 for each of the fractions. Fractions S5, S6 and S7 significantly increased grooming while fractions S1 and S4 significantly decreased grooming. S1 — S7 were administered at 10 mg/kg i.p. * indicates significant difference from control. P < 0.05 (SNK test).
