Significant (p<0.01) dose-dependent antinociceptive and antipyretic properties were observed with 200 and 400 mg/kg. %K Amaranthus viridis %K antinociceptive activity %K acetic acid writhing test %K hot plate test %K antipyretic activity %U http://www.doiserbia.nb.rs/img/doi/0354-4664/2010/0354-46641002397K.pdf
