Fig. 1.

Dose dependent effects of lemon peel oil on open field. (a) Number of square crossed and (b) Time spent in central area. Values are mean±SD (n=6). Significant difference was obtained by Tukey’s post hoc test, **p<0.01 as compared to control animals.

Fig. 2.
Dose dependent effects of lemon peel oil on (a) light/dark transition box and (b) forced swim test. Values are mean±SD (n=6). Significant difference was obtained by Tukey’s post hoc test, *p<0.05, **p<0.01 as compared to control animals.
Fig. 3.

Dose dependent effects of lemon peel oil on combine forepaw and hindpaw strength by Kondziela’s inverted screen test. Values are mean±SD (n=6). Significant difference was obtained by Tukey’s post hoc test, **p<0.01 as compared to control animals.

Fig. 4.

Dose dependent effects of lemon peel oil on lipid peroxidation. Values are mean±SD (n=6). Significant difference was obtained by Tukey’s post hoc test, *p<0.05, **p<0.01 as compared to control animals.

Fig. 5.

Dose dependent effects of lemon peel oil on antioxidant enzymes (a) superoxide dismutase and (b) catalase activity. Values are mean±SD (n=6). Significant difference was obtained by Tukey’s post hoc test, *p<0.05, **p<0.01 as compared to control animals.

Fig. 6.

Dose dependent effects of lemon peel oil on plasma corticosterone level. Values are mean±SD (n=6). Significant difference was obtained by Tukey’s post hoc test, *p<0.05, **p<0.01 as compared to control animals.
