Abstract

Anxiety is a feeling of uneasiness, nervousness and fear, which can lead to a serious mental illness.Currently the trend of population suffering from anxiety is increasing.The study has been designed to evaluate the anxiolytic potential of coconut milk.The study was carried out on albino mice weighing 18-25gm either male or female.Mice were divided into 3 groups.Group I was taken as Control and given distilled water 0.4ml.Group II was taken as treated and given coconut milk 0.4ml and Group III was given 0.6ml of coconut milk.Head dip, light and dark model, cage crossing, open field and elevated plus maze were used to evaluate coconut milks effect on anxiety.Our study exposed significant effects of anxiolytic activity of coconut milk in mice.Head dip activity and open field activity show highly significant result.We conclude that administration of coconut milk gives anxiolytic effects because it possesses anti-oxidant components as multi vitamins and minerals.It has less adverse effect as compared to allopathic drugs, we can use coconut milk in our daily diet.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
