In Vitro Global Gene Expression Analyses Support the Ethnopharmacological Use of Achyranthes aspera

Table 1

Eight genes were analyzed to validate the microarray data. The fold changes in gene expression as obtained by microarray analyses were verified by quantitative RT-PCR. Experimental details are given in the materials and methods.
