Effects of Thymol and Carvacrol, Constituents of Thymus vulgaris L. Essential Oil, on the Inflammatory Response
Figure 2
Effect of CVL and thymol on in vitro leukocyte chemotaxis. Leukocytes were obtained from zymosan-induced peritonitis (200 g/cavity) and stimulated with fMLP () or LTB4 (10−8) after 30 min of CVL (a, b) or thymol (c, d) treatments at doses of 0.3, 1, 3, 10, 30 and 90 g/mL. Values are mean ± SEM () and are representative of three independent experiments. * versus Vh (vehicle), # versus group of leukocytes stimulated with fMLP or LTB4.
