N = 8, results were expressed as means of seconds elapsed before licking the paw ± S.E. (a) means significantly different from sham-operated group; (b) significantly different from positive control (I/R) group; (c) significantly different from vehicle (0.5 mL) group; (d) significantly different from prophylactic geraniol oil (0.02 mL) group and (e) significantly different from prophylactic geraniol micelles (0.25 mL) group.
