Lignosus rhinocerus (Cooke) Ryvarden: A Medicinal Mushroom That Stimulates Neurite Outgrowth in PC-12 Cells

Figure 3

Percentage of neurite-bearing cells in the cell line PC-12 treated with combination of 20 μg/mL (w/v) of aqueous extract and various concentrations NGF (ng/mL). Neurite growth (vertical axis) was quantified as the percentage of cells bearing axodendritic processes longer than two times of cell diameters in length. Data are expressed as means ± standard deviation (𝑛=3). Means with different alphabets show significant difference (𝑃<0.01; Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT)) (permuted-𝑃<0.001).
