Table 3

T. gharuensis extracts significantly reduced paw edema in arthritic rats.

Value of normal paw is considered as zero. EETG, ethanolic extract of T. gharuensis; NHTG, n-hexane extract of T. gharuensis (400 mg/kg); piroxicam (10 mg/kg). Values were denoted as mean ± SEM. when compared with the arthritic control group.
