Comparative Analysis of Gelsemine and Gelsemium sempervirens Activity on Neurosteroid Allopregnanolone Formation in the Spinal Cord and Limbic System
Figure 5
Comparative analysis of the effects of gelsemine and G. sempervirens at 9 or 5 cH on []PROG conversion into []3,5-THP by H-A slices. The values were obtained from experiments similar to those presented in Figure 1. Results were then expressed as percentages of the amount of []3,5-THP formed in absence of gelsemine and G. sempervirens (control). Each value is the mean ( SEM) of four independent experiments. , as compared to control; P .01 as compared to gelsemine (ANOVA followed by Bonferroni's test).
