Figure 2

Effects of escin after oral administration on carrageenan-induced paw edema. (a) Rats were assigned to five groups: vehicle group, Dex group, and escin for oral administration groups at doses of 5, 10, and 20 mg/kg. (b) Rats were assigned to four groups: vehicle group, Dex group, escin for injection group (i.v., 1.8 mg/kg), and escin for oral administration group (p.o., 10 mg/kg). .
