From: Does patchouli oil change blood platelet monoamine oxidase-A activity of adult mammals?

Fig. 5

Blood platelet MAO-A activity (percentage change) in long-term [15 A and 30 B consecutive days] patchouli oil exposure with different dosages (drops) in adult male albino rats. Results (percent change) are expressed as mean ± SEM of 4–6 separate observations. Each observation was made from a single rat. MAO-A activity was measured using serotonin as a substrate. Patchouli oil exposure was given at different dosages (two and five drops). The control value of young rat blood platelet MAO-A activity (∆OD/mg protein/h) is 1.61 ± 0.033. Other details are described in the “Materials and methods” section. Significantly different from control young rats of long-term A 15 consecutive days with (i) two drops a p < 0.001, (ii) 5 drops b p < 0.001 and B 30 consecutive days with (i) two drops a p < 0.001, (ii) five drops b p < 0.001, c p < 0.05
