From: Three chemotypes of thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.) essential oil and their main compounds affect differently the IL-6 and TNFα cytokine secretions of BV-2 microglia by modulating the NF-κB and C/EBPβ signalling pathways

Cell viability determinations of the treated BV-2 cells. Viability of the BV-2 cells was measured using CCK-8 cell viability assay after the 6 h and 24 h long treatments with DMSO, chemotypes or standards. Viability is expressed as percentile of the total cell number of the control cells. a Cell viability measurements of BV-2 cells treated with DMSO or essential oil chemotypes. b Cell viability measurements of BV-2 cells treated with DMSO or essential oil standards. The bars represent mean values and error bars represent standard deviation (SD) for four independent determinations (n = 4). Cell viability assays were carried out in triplicate in each independent experiments. Asterisks indicate p < 0.05 compared to the DMSO treated cells used as controls
