Fig 8. Effect of extracts of K. brasiliensis (Kb) (A) and K. pinnata (Kp) (B) on MPO levels in paw edema induced by B. jararaca venom (BjV) in pre-treatment protocol.
LP: left paw (basal control; no injection of venom, extract or dexamethasone). UMPO: a unit of MPO, defined as the equivalent to the consumption of 1μmol of hydrogen peroxide per minute. The columns represent the mean ± SEM (n = 5), **p <0.01 and ***p<0.001 compared to the control group (i.pl. injection of BjV with i.p. administration of 5% castor oil in PBS) after Tukey’s test (one-way ANOVA followed by the Tukey’s test).
