Effect of D. saxatilis on tail clip test in mice.
| Treatment | Dose (mg/kg) | Pretreatment reaction time (s) | Post-treatment reaction time (s) | % Inhibition |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Control | – | 3.17 ± 0.23 | 3.23 ± 0.30 | – |
| D. saxatilis | 100 | 3.21 ± 0.26 | 3.26 ± 0.41b | 1.3 |
| 200 | 3.14 ± 0.23 | 3.26 ± 0.36b | 2.8 | |

Table showing the effects of Dalbergia saxatilis, morphine or distilled water after 30 min on the attempt to dislodge a clip at the base of tail of mouse. Each value represents mean ± S.E.M or percentage inhibition of pain compared to control, n = 5. Significant at p < 0.05, (ANOVA, Fisher’s PLSD test),
a
Significant inhibition compared to control given distilled water.
b
Significantly lower inhibition compared to morphine-treated animals.
