Effects of EFHB on acetic acid-induced writhing test in mice.
| Treatment | Dose (mg/kg, p.o.) | Number of writhes | Inhibition (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vehicle | 10 (ml/kg) | 14.3 ± 0.79 | — |
| Diclofenac sodium | 25 | 3.5 ± 0.38∗∗ | 75.52 |
| EFHB | 100 | 8.9 ± 0.45∗ | 37.76 |
| EFHB | 200 | 7.1 ± 0.36∗∗ | 50.35 |
| EFHB | 400 | 5.4 ± 0.63∗∗ | 62.24 |
Here, each value is presented as the mean ± SEM (n = 5). EFHB = ethanol extract of Ficus hispida.
