Figure 6

Effect of α,β-amyrenone (23.5 μmol/kg), indomethacin (27.9 μmol/kg), or vehicle (10 mL/kg, 0.9% NaCl solution), dosed orally, on pleurisy induced by carrageenan (1 mg/cavity, 4 h). (a) Total cells. (b) Mononuclear cells. (c) Neutrophils. (d) Evans blue content (exudation). Each column represents the mean of 6 to 10 animals and the vertical bars represent the SEM.
