  1. Inflammatory responses in the leg receiving sodium urate began 5 h after the injection, and continued to increase during 13 h (data not shown). Hyperalgesic responses were stable in all animals 2 h prior to the second drug administration. An anti-inflammatory agent was effective in this model. Values are expressed in median of score range (min – max). The Kruskal-Wallis test was performed, followed by the Mann-Whitney U test
