Effect of LEPO on swimming survival time (sec) for forced swimming endurance test in Swiss Albino mice for 7-day study.
| Groups | Treatment, dose (mg/kg body wt.) p.o | Swimming survival time (sec) |
|---|---|---|
| Group I; negative control | Saline water (1 mL) | 113 ± 2.9 |
| Group II; positive control | WS; (100) | 416.6 ± 3.8** |
| Group III; test control | PO; (Kewda water) (0.5) | 125.6 ± 3.2* |
| Group IV; test control | LEPO (100) | 133.3 ± 2.4** |
| Group V; test control | LEPO (200) | 145 ± 3.8** |
n = 6 animals in each group.
WS: Withania somnifera; LEPO: lyophilized hydroethanol extract of leaves of Pandanus odoratissimus Linn; PO; (Kewda water): marketed preparation of Pandanus odoratissimus.
Values are mean ± S.E.M. expressed of each group. Data analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett's multiple comparison test against the respective control. * P < 0.5, ** P < 0.01.
