Effects of AAE (200, 400, and 800 mg kg⁻¹, p.o.) and sodium valproate (100, 200, and 400 mg kg⁻¹, p.o.) on the latency to convulsions in 4-aminopyridine-induced seizure test. Data are presented as group mean±S.E.M. (𝑛=8). The lower and upper margins of the boxes represent the 25th and 75th percentiles, with the extended arms representing the 10th and 90th percentiles, respectively. The median is shown as a horizontal line within the box. *𝑃<0.05,***𝑃<0.001 compared to vehicle-treated group (one-way analysis of variance followed by Newman-Keuls post hoc test).
