The Ethanol Extract of the Inner Bark of Caesalpinia pyramidalis (Tul.) Reduces Urinary Bladder Damage during Cyclophosphamide-Induced Cystitis in Rats

Figure 2

Urinary bladder weight of rats with cyclophosphamide-induced cystitis submitted to treatment with the ethanol extract of Caesalpinia pyramidalis (EECp). Animals were treated with EECp (100–400 mg/kg, p.o.), vehicle, or mesna (40 mg/kg, i.p.) and injected with cyclophosphamide (200 mg/kg, i.p.). After 24 h, the urinary bladder weight was measured and expressed as mg/g of whole body weight of animals. ^##𝑃<0.01 versus vehicle + saline; ^∗𝑃<0.05 versus vehicle + cyclophosphamide.
