Effect of AE and AEC on arthritic index in Freund’s complete adjuvant induced arthritic rats. Results were presented as mean ± SEM (). The data was analysed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Dunnett test.^∗, ^∗∗ when compared with arthritic control group. AC: arthritic control; Std.: Diclofenac sodium 10 mg/kg p.o.; AE: aloe emodin (25, 50, and 75 mg/kg p.o.); AEC: carboxylic acid derivative of aloe emodin (25, 50, and 75 mg/kg p.o.).
