EEC anti-inflammatory effect under ear oedema induced by croton oil (2.5% v/v) in mice previously treated with EEC (2000, 1000, and 500 kg−1, v.o). Control (CMC + propylene glycol) 10 mL kg−1, v.o. Dexamethasone was used as positive control (2 mg kg−1, v.o). Each column expresses the mean ( SEM) of the difference of the weights of ear segments in percentages relative to control (vehicle). *Indicates the significance level compared to the control group (vehicle). mice. ** , *** .
