Anti-Inflammatory properties of HEas. The proteinase inhibition (A), the lipoxygenase inhibition (B), the inhibition of protein denaturation (C). HEa-EtOH—hydrogel containing dry ethanolic extract of E. angustifolium; HEa-iPrOH—hydrogel containing dry isopropanol extract of E. angustifolium; HEa-WA—hydrogel containing dry water extract of E. angustifolium; (H)CON—hydrogel without E. angustifolium extract. All hydrogels were used in 0.1, 1.0 and 5.0%. Diclofenac (A), quercetin (B) and aspirin (C) was used as a control inhibitor. Different letters indicate significant differences between the HEas, α = 0.05. Values are the mean of three replicate determinations (n = 3).
