Figure 6

Effects of MAE (30-300 mg kg⁻¹ p.o.) and diclofenac (10-100 mg kg⁻¹ i.p.) on MPO activity were assessed from lung tissue 6 h after carrageenan injection. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. n=5, <0.05, <0.01, and <0.001 vs. carrageenan only treated group (one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett's Multiple Comparison test) (a). Dose response curves for diclofenac (10-100 mg kg⁻¹ i.p.) compared to MAE (30-300 mg kg⁻¹ p.o.) on MPO activity (b).
