Table 2

Effect of ethanol extract of Delonix regia (100, 200 and 400 mg/kg) on cotton pellet granuloma in rats.

Treatment	Dose mg kg^−1	Cotton pellet granuloma
		Weight of pellets Mean ± SEM
Control	0.3 mL	51.73±2.35
Indomethacin	10	19.82±2.52 (61.68)^b
EEDR	100	37.24±2.00 (27.99)^NS
EEDR	200	30.85±3.72 (40.36)^b
EEDR	400	29.77±3.76 (42.44)^a

*The number of animal was 6 in each group. Figure in parenthesis indicate percent inhibition in cotton pellet granuloma. The probability values were calculated using one way ANOVA followed by Dunnet’s t-test: a < 0.05, b < 0.01, NS: not significant.
