Eugenia extracts inhibit in vivo neutrophil migration. Swiss male mice previously injected (s.c.) with Eugenia aurata (EA; panel a) or E. punicifolia (EP; panel b), received i.p. injection of 3 % Thioglycolate (TG). Cellular migration was allowed for six hours when the peritoneal lavage fluid was collected and subjected to total and differential cell count. PBS group received = PBS (s.c. and i.p.); TG group received = PBS (s.c.) and TG (i.p.); TG/DEX group received = DEX (s.c.) and TG (i.p.). Data shown as in vivo migration (%) ± SD. (n = 5). # p <0.01 when compared to PBS; ** p <0.01 and *** p <0.001 when compared to TG
