Effect of various drugs on impairment in motility associated with carrageenan-induced inflammation. Edema was induced by injecting 0.1 mL of 1% solution of carrageenan into subplantar surface of right-hind paw. The drugs were administered subcutaneously 30 minutes before injecting inflammagen. Motility score was observed at the time of peak inflammation (4 hours for carrageenan). Data are expressed as mean ± standard error of seven rats per group. Group A: carrageenan control; Group B: control; Group C: L. casei fed; Group D: L. acidophilus; Group E: positive control.
