Analysis of the Potential Topical Anti-Inflammatory Activity of Averrhoa carambola L. in Mice
Figure 1
Effect of ethanolic extract from A. carambola and DE topically administered on croton oil-induced ear edema (a) and MPO activity (b). Ear edema and enzymatic activity was measured at 6 h and 24 h after croton oil treatment, respectively. The extract (0.03–1.0 mg/ear) and DE (0.1 mg/ear) were applied after croton oil application. Each bar represents the mean ± SEM for four to five animals. The graphic symbols denote the significance levels when compared with control groups. Significantly different from controls, *P < .05, **P < .01, ***P < .001.
