An In Vitro System Comprising Immortalized Hypothalamic Neuronal Cells (GT1–7 Cells) for Evaluation of the Neuroendocrine Effects of Essential Oils

Figure 2

Cytotoxicity of H₂O₂, Al, Zn, and TMX. GT1–7 cells were treated with 20–50 μM H₂O₂ (gray), 50–200 μM Al (stripes), 10–50 μM Zn (black), or 0.1–0.5 μM TMX (lattice). After 24 h, the viability was analyzed using the WST-1 method. The white bar shows the viability of GT1–7 cells treated with essential oil alone. Data are presented as the mean ± SEM (). , versus the control group. The abbreviated names of the essential oils used in the figure are shown in Table 1.
