---|---|---|---|---|
Polymorphonuclear | Lymphocyte | Monocyte | Basophil | |
Saline | 15.5 | 80.0* | 1.5 | 3.0 |
Carrageenan | 34.5 | 44.0 | 20.5 | 1.0 |
Indomethacin + Carrageenan | 7.0* | 68.0* | 21.0 | 4.0 |
Caulerpin + Carrageenan | 6.0* | 63.0* | 31.0* | 0.0 |
Each point represents the % of inhibition of the cell number versus positive control (carrageenan) of six animals. Statistical differences between the treated and the control groups were evaluated by ANOVA and Dunnett tests and the asterisks denote the significance levels in comparison with control groups,
P < 0.05,
P < 0.01.
