The influence of EtOH- Ext (a), Hexanic fraction (b), and Lupeol (c) on the phagocytosis in macrophages. Murine peritoneal macrophages were treated with a range of concentrations for 48 h. The phagocytosis was analyzed by incorporation of NR-stained zymosan, solubilized with the extraction solution. Data are presented as mean ± SEM of three experiments carried out in triplicate. versus control; versus control; versus control.
