Figure 2. Temporal course curves (A) and dose-response (AUC) antinociceptive effects of A. chilensis powder (AC) and tramadol (TRA, reference drug) after parenteral administration on the neurogenic (B) and inflammatory (C) phases of the 1% formalin intraplantar in mice compared to the vehicle. A two-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’s post-hoc test for temporal course curves and a one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s post-hoc test for dose-response data. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001, n = 6 repetitions.
