Antipyretic and antinociceptive activity of Diospyros lotus L. in animals
Objective: To evaluate pharmacologically the traditional use of Diospyros lotus as antipyretic and antinociceptive in various animal models. Methods: In vivo experimental models were used in this study. Antipyretic activity of extract/fractions was evaluated in brewer's yeast induced hypertherm...

Methods: In vivo experimental models were used in this study.
