  1. Values are Mean ± S.E.M, n = 6 animals in each group. Values in parenthesis indicate % inhibition of rat paw edema of treated groups Vs arthritic control group II.
  2. Comparisons were made between: a- Group I vs II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII and IX
  3. b- Group II vs III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII and IX
  4. c- Group III vs V, VI, VIII and IX
  5. Symbols represent statistical significance: * - p < 0.001, # - p < 0.01, @ - p < 0.05
