Abstract
<p class="first" id="d19534437e145">Gout arthritis, which is provoked by monosodium
urate (MSU) crystal accumulation in
the joint and periarticular tissues, induces severe pain and affects quality of life
of the patients. Eucalyptol (1,8-cineol), the principal component in the essential
oils of eucalyptus leaves, is known to possess anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.
We aimed to examine the therapeutic effects of eucalyptol on gout arthritis and related
mechanisms.
