Effect of oral administration of EEGC at 3 h and 4 h after carrageenan-induced mechanical sensitivity (a, b) and cold hypersensitivity (c, d). The control (saline 0.9%, p.o.), EEGC (300, 700, or 1000 mg/kg, p.o.), and dexa (dexamethasone 1 mg/kg, s.c.) groups were treated after 1 hour with carrageenan. The bars express the mean ± SEM compared to the control group.  < 0.01,  < 0.05, and  < 0.001. One-way analysis of variance followed by the Newman–Keuls test.
