Comparative Analysis of Gelsemine and Gelsemium sempervirens Activity on Neurosteroid Allopregnanolone Formation in the Spinal Cord and Limbic System

Figure 7

Effects of (a) gelsemine or (b) G. sempervirens at 5 cH on 3 ,5 -THP production by H-A slices in the absence or presence of strychnine (  M). 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 the control group. Each value is the mean ( SEM) of four independent experiments. as compared to gelsemine; , as compared to G. sempervirens (ANOVA followed by Bonferroni's test). NS represents not statistically different.
