TY - JOUR T1 - Anti-inflammatory Activity of Morus indica Linn TT - JF - iums-ijpt JO - iums-ijpt VL - 4 IS - 1 UR - http://ijpt.iums.ac.ir/article-1-49-en.html Y1 - 2005 SP - 13 EP - 0 N2 - Anti-inflammatory activity of the ethanolic extract of the leaves of Morus indica Linn. was studied in wistar rats using the carrageenan induced left hind paw edema, carrageenan induced pleurisy and cotton pellet induced granuloma model. The ethanolic extract (100 mg/kg, p.o.) inhibited carrageenan induced rat paw edema. It also showed an inhibitory effect on leukocyte migration and a reduction on the pleural exudates as well as reduction on the granuloma weight in the cotton pellet granuloma method. The results indicated that the ethanolic extract produced significant (p < 0.05) anti-inflammatory activity when compared with the standard and untreated control. M3 ER -
