Citronellol and Geraniol, Components of Rose Oil, Activate Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor α and γ and Suppress Cyclooxygenase-2 Expression
2011
We evaluated the effects of rose oil on the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). Citronellol and geraniol, the major components of rose oil, activated PPARα and γ, and suppressed LPS-induced COX-2 expression in cell culture assays, although the PPARγ-dependent suppression of COX-2 promoter activity was evident only with citronellol, indicating that citronellol and geraniol were the active components of rose oil.
