Effect of essential oil from A. trilobata and sulcatyl acetate in protein extravasation into the subcutaneous air pouch (SAP). The animals were pretreated with dexamethasone (Dex, 1 mg/kg, i.p.), essential oil, or sulcatyl acetate (1, 10, or 100 mg/kg) or vehicle 1 h before carrageenan injection into the SAP. The results are expressed as the mean ± S.D. calculated with Prism Software 5.0 (n = 6–8). One-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’s test was used to calculate the statistical significance. * indicates p < 0.05 when compared to the vehicle-treated group (animals that received carrageenan in the SAP) and # indicates p < 0.05 when compared to the vehicle-treated group (animals that received saline in the SAP).
