As expected and in agreement with cell infiltration after 24 h of carrageenan administration wascharacterized by the presence of neutrophils. Similarly to theobserved with total leukocytes, the number of neutrophils in theair pouch exudates was significantly reduced when treated withFig IGR (51.8 ± 10.9%) when compared to the control group This inhibitory effect was comparable to that reported for thenaringenin-7-O-neohesperidoside at 30 mg/kg in a similar study(53.8%) and higher than the reduction exerted by cyanidin-3-O-glucoside at 40 mg/kg in a peritonitis model (39%) The number of monocytes(macrophages precursors) and lymphocytes remained without sig-nificant changes.
