Mean recovery time for para^bss flies treated with phenytoin and, leaf and stem bark A. senegalensis extracts. The time it took for each individual that showed a bang sensitive phenotype to complete recovery was calculated. Flies not seizuring were not included and if a fly was still seizuring at the end of the experiment its time was recorded as 1,200 s. Mean ± SEM is shown. (A) The MRT was significantly affected by the treatment in females (Kruskal-Wallis test H₍₁₄₎ = 30.21, p = 0.004). There were no differences between the control and other treatments as tested with a Dunn's post hoc test. (B) The MRT was significantly affected by the treatment in males (Kruskal-Wallis test H₍₁₄₎ = 31.04, p = 0.003). Dunn's post hoc test showed that the control was only different with the stem bark 13.3 mg.ml⁻¹ treatment (p = 0.02). Number of males is lower because MRT measures the time to recovery of paralyzed flies, and fewer males than females where paralyzed at t = 0.
