Descriptive statistics expressed as mean ± SEM for five mice in every group. Values that have different superscript letters are statistically significant along the same column by one-way ANOVA accompanied by Tukey's post hoc test (p≤ 0.005). The values in brackets represent % inflammation inhibition.
