The LIUS effect on paw edema in rats. a Representative gross photographs displaying changes of the carrageenan-induced edema in the rat paw. Rats were injected with 1% carrageenan (100 μL) in subplantar to induce acute paw edema. Comparative photographs were obtained at 6 h following carrageenan injection in the left hind paw in the saline, carrageenan (CRG) and 100 mW/cm2 of LIUS stimulation (CRG + US) groups. b Time-course of edema formation after carrageenan injection and LIUS stimulation as 50, 100 and 200 mW/cm2 for 10 min. The paw volumes were measured using a plethysmometer prior to saline or carrageenan injection, and at 2, 6, 24 and 72 h after injection (n = 5 per group). Data are reported as means ± S.E. *P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, and *** P < 0.001 compared to the CRG group
