  1. FXM F. xanthoxyloides methanol extract. Data values shown represent mean ± SD (n = 6). One way analysis of variance was followed by Dunnet comparison of various treatments with control at: *, P < 0.05; #, P < 0.01; ǂ, P < 0.001. Multiple comparisons among treatments were determined by Tukeys’ HSD test. Superscript alphabets indicate significance among treatments (P < 0.01) on not sharing common letter
