Effect of thymol on membrane fluidity of murine macrophages. RAW264.7 cells with various concentrations of thymol (50, 100 and 150 μM) as well as with PBS for control group were incubated in 96-well plates for 24 h at 37 °C. Neutral red uptake assay was done to determine the total phagocytosis. Results are depicted as the mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM). Statistical significance was calculated using the Students t-tests. * represents P-values < 0.05, ** represents P-values < 0.01, and *** represents P-values < 0.001.
