Dioscorea Phytocompounds Enhance Murine Splenocyte Proliferation Ex Vivo and Improve Regeneration of Bone Marrow Cells In Vivo

Figure 6

Hypothetical diagram for the effect of Dioscorea extract (DsCE-II) on regeneration of hematopoietic progenitors in bone marrow. −, no effect; ±, slight enhancement; ++, substantially increased; and NA, not analyzed. See legend to Table 1 for abbreviations for cell lineages. (DsCE-II*, bioactivity of DsCE-II on CFU-GEMM cells were tested and no effect was observed; DsCE-II^#, DsCE-II greatly enhanced the level of CFU-GM cells).
