Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Bangpungtongsung-San, a Traditional Herbal Prescription
Figure 6
Inhibition of carrageenan- (CGN-) induced paw edema by BPTS. BPTS was administered to rats at an oral dose of 0.3 and 1.0 g kg−1 day−1 for four days prior to induction of paw edema. Paw edema was induced by subcutaneously injecting a 1% solution of carrageenan dissolved in saline (0.1 mL per animal) into the right hind paw. The swelling volume of the paw was measured 1–3 h after carrageenan injection. Dexamethasone (Dex, 1 mg kg−1, p.o.) was used as a positive control. Data represent the mean ± S.D. of five animals. ##P < 0.01, significant compared with carrageenan alone.
