Fig 4. Effect of Ocimum tenuiflorum on the release of cortisol.

Fig 4

Ocimum tenuiflorum extract at different non-cytotoxic concentrations was tested in the forskolin-induced cortisol release assay using human adreno-carcinoma (NCI-H295R) cells. The cortisol released by the cells was analyzed using a cortisol-HTRF kit, and the percentage of cortisol inhibited by the test substance is shown. The higher the percentage of cortisol inhibited, the better the activity.
