Effect of D. saxatilis on acetic acid-induced writhing in mice.
| Treatment | Dose (mg/kg) | No of writhing (per 15 min) | % Inhibition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Control | – | 72.8 ± 5.7 | – |
| D. saxatilis | 100 | 56.5 ± 4.9a,b,c | 22.39 |
| 200 | 48.7 ± 4.1a,b | 33.10 | |

| Morphine | 10 | 4.6 ± 0.4a,c | 93.68 |
Table showing the effects on writhing of Dalbergia saxatilis, aspirin, morphine or distilled water administered 30 min before intraperitoneal acetic acid in mice. Each value represents mean ± S.E.M or percentage inhibition of pain as compared to control animals, n = 5. Significant at p < 0.05 (ANOVA, Fisher’s PLSD test);
a
Significant inhibition compared to control given distilled water.
b
Significantly different inhibition compared to morphine-treated.
c
Significantly different inhibition compared to aspirin-treated.
