The effects of (A) the essential oils/extracts, and (B) monoterpenoid constituents on triglyceride content of 3T3-L1 adipocytes after treatment for 24 h. Intracellular triacylglycerol content was determined using enzymatic colorimetric methods. We used 1 mM (18.2 µg/mL) caffeine and 0.1 mM (194.3 µg/mL) as positive controls. Values are expressed as mean ± SE of three independent experiments. One-way ANOVA showed significant value, * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, and *** p < 0.001 vs. control cells (untreated).
