Table 5 The mean of anti-inflammatory activity of the purified bioglycerol sample on carrageenan-induced rat hind paw

Treatment	Time (h)
	1	2	3	4
	The mean thickness of the inflamed area in hind paws (mm)
Control	0.11ª ± 0.02	0.14ª ± 0.02	0.18ª ± 0.02	0.20ª ± 0.01
Bioglycerol 5%	0.11ª ± 0.03	0.13^b ± 0.02	0.14^b ± 0.03	0.13^b ± 0.04
Inhibition %	0	7	22	35

The statistical analysis was done using one-way ANOVA to compare groups at the different time intervals. Data is expressed as mean values ± standard error. In each column, means with different letters are significantly different (p < 0.05).
