THEO: theobromine; NCA: neochlorogenic acid; CCA: cryptochlorogenic acid; CGA: chlorogenic acid; CAF: caffeine; RUT: rutin; DEX: dexamethasone (7 μM). The potency of each chemical marker is represented by a ratio among dexamethasone (at 7 μM) and the concentration of each compound in the IA extract (at a dose of 3 μg/mL; % NOx inhibition: ) (). |
