Figure 4

Effects of extracts (FPE, FPW, 3.90 g raw material/kg·bw) and meloxicam (3 mg/kg·bw) on TNF-𝛼 (a) and PGE2 (b) production in MSU crystal-induced rats. Values are expressed as mean ± SD of six animals (𝑛=6). The asterisks denote significance levels. *𝑃<0.05, **𝑃<0.01, and ***𝑃<0.001 in comparison to control and ^#𝑃<0.05, and ^###𝑃<0.001 in comparison to blank, and one-way analysis of variance followed by Student-Newman-Keuls’ test.
