Inhibition of carrageenan-induced paw edema formation by BSE. BSE was administered to rats at the oral dose of 0.3 or 1 g/kg/day. Then, paw edema was induced by subcutaneously injecting 1% solution of carrageenan dissolved in saline (0.1 mL per animal) into the hind paw. The thickness of the paw was measured before and 1–4 h after carrageenan injection. Dexamethasone (Dex, 1 mg/kg, p.o.) was used as a positive control. Data represents the mean ± S.E.M. of six animals (significant as compared with carrageenan alone, ** ). For data points where error bars could not be seen, the standard error was subtended by the data point. BSE: Bojesodok-eum.
