Anti-Inflammatory Property of the Ethanol Extract of the Root and Rhizome of Pogostemon cablin (Blanco) Benth
Figure 2
Inhibitory effect of ERP on the xylene-induced mouse ear edema (a), the acetic acid-induced mouse capillary permeability (b) and carrageenan-induced mouse pleurisy (c). (a) The ear edema was represented as the ear edema index which was assessed as the weight difference between the right and the left ear biopsies of the same animal. (b) The capillary permeability was represented by the amount of Evans blue extruded into peritoneal cavity, which was measured by the OD of the supernatant. (c) The pleurisy was represented by neutrophils counts in the inflammatory site. Data was represented as the mean ± S.E.M. (). * and ** compared to the xylene-control group (a), acetic acid-control group (b) and carrageenan-control group (c).
