['Standardized myrtol, an essential oil containing primarily cineole, limonene and α-pinene, has been used for treating nasosinusitis, bronchitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).', 'To investigate the effects of standardized myrtol in a model of acute lung injury (ALI) induced by lipopolysaccharides (LPS).', 'Male BALB/c mice were treated with standardized myrtol for 1.5\u2009h prior to exposure of atomized LPS. Six hours after LPS challenge, lung injury was determined by the neutrophil recruitment, cytokine levels and total protein concentration in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity in the lung tissue. Additionally, pathological changes and NF-κB activation in the lung were examined by haematoxylin and eosin staining and western blot, respectively.', 'In LPS-challenged mice, standardized myrtol at a dose of 1200\u2009mg/kg significantly inhibited the neutrophile counts (from 820.97\u2009±\u2009142.44 to 280.42\u2009±\u200965.45, 10'] Does standardized myrtol attenuate lipopolysaccharide induced acute lung injury in mice?
