A Valepotriate Fraction of <i>Valeriana glechomifolia</i> Shows Sedative and Anxiolytic Properties and Impairs Recognition But Not Aversive Memory in Mice

<table>Fear-related memory assessed in an inhibitory avoidance task in mice treated with a systemic administration of VF (1, 3 or 10 mg kg<sup>-1</sup>) of <i>V. glechomifolia</i> 30 min before training. Memory retention was tested 24 h after training. Data are median + interquartile range. Latencies to step-down (s) of training (light columns) or test (dark columns). <i>n</i> = 9 animals per group. There were no significant differences among groups, either in the training trial or in the test. Asterisks indicate groups showing significant training-test differences (Wilcoxon test, <i>P</i> &lt;  .05).</table>
