The effect of prolonged consumption of virgin coconut oil (VCO) diet on anxiety was assessed in CD1 mice using the Open field (OF), Elevated plus maze (EPM) and Light/dark box (LD box) tests. Thirty male CD1 mice (28.4-32.5 g bw) divided into 3 groups (n=10 each) were given normal rodent chow (control), 5% (w/w) and 20% (w/w) VCO diet respectively and water ad libitum for 23 days. The OF test showed increased grooming (p< 0.05) in both 5% and 20% VCO groups versus control, and higher Freeze frequency in both VCO diet groups versus control, with the 20% diet Original Research Article Bisong et al.; JOCAMR, 2(1): 1-13, 2017; Article no.JOCAMR.30315 2 group being higher than that for 5% diet group (p
