Also we studied the effect of Punsimgieumgamibang on anxiety using analyses of Punsimgieumgamibang on anxiety using analyses of behavior of rats submitted to the elevated plus-maze test.
Result : 1) The sleeping ratio of the Pusimgieumgamibang group was higher than the control group on the whole, and the difference of the groups in the third time block was significant statistically. 2) We could not find any statistical information in all of the 4 anxiety related behavior of the elevated plus-maze experiment. and there was a tendency to a higher measurement in the Punsimgieumgamibang group animals in the total arms visitation in the elevated plus-maze, open arms visitation, and the amount of time of stay in arms.
