Anxiolytic activity of Me-RCR on elevated plus maze test in mice.

Group	Dose (mg/kg)	% of entry into open arm	% of time spent in open arm
Control	10 mL/kg	42.86 ± 2.23	38.46 ± 1.30
Diazepam	1	79.50 ± 2.57∗∗	75.47 ± 2.44∗∗
Me-RCR 200	200	53.12 ± 3.14	50.63 ± 3.98
Me-RCR 400	400	54.17 ± 3.55∗	57.69 ± 3.17∗

Values are mean ± S.E.M. ∗p < 0.05 and ∗∗p < 0.01, significantly different from control; ANOVA followed Dunnett's test (n = 10, each group). Me-RCR, methanol extract of rhizome of C. recurvata.
