Figure 9From: Novel phytoandrogens and lipidic augmenters from Eucommia ulmoides Supra-hormonal properties of E ulmoides (EU) extract on estrogen receptor and estradiol. The augmenting effect of a fixed dose of E ulmoides (EU) extract on ER. Cells were exposed to increasing doses of estradiol, with or without, 50 ng/mL treatment medium of the ethanolic E ulmoides extract, as indicated. Control cells were not exposed to the ethanolic E ulmoides extract or estradiol. Estrogenic activity is expressed as fold increase in reporter gene activity compared to control. Data are mean ± SE of three replicates.Back to article page
