Effects of Thymol and Carvacrol, Constituents of Thymus vulgaris L. Essential Oil, on the Inflammatory Response
Figure 6
Ear edema induced by thymol (10 mg/ear). The animals () were treated with indomethacin (Indo) (5 mg/Kg, v.o.) or promethazine (PTZ) (5 mg/Kg, i.p.) 60 minutes beforethe thymol application. The croton oil (CO) was used for positive control. The ear edema was determined in 30, 60, 120, 180, and 240 minutes after inflammatory stimuli. Data are mean ± SEM of the ear thickness, # compared to thymol group. * compared to the positive control (ANOVA, Tukey’s test).
