Ethanol Extract of Cudrania tricuspidata Leaf Ameliorates Hyperuricemia in Mice via Inhibition of Hepatic and Serum Xanthine Oxidase Activity
Figure 2
Serum uric acid levels after the oral administration of saline in normal mice (NOR) and after the oral administration of saline (HU), allopurinol at a dose of 10 mg/kg (HU+ALP), or CTLE at doses of 30 mg/kg (HU+CTLE30) and 100 mg/kg (HU+CTLE100) for 7 days prior to the induction of hyperuricemia in mice. The rectangular bars and their error bars represent the means and standard deviations, respectively (n = 5). The asterisks and pound sign indicate values that are significantly different from those of the HU and NOR group, respectively (p < 0.05).
