Figure 2

GT1–7 cells were treated with either distilled water (control), 10 nM of estradiol, 100 μg/mL of Huang Bai, 300 μg/mL of Zhi Mu, 300 μg/mL of Mai Ya, or 30 μg/mL of Xia Ku Cao for 24 hours. Total RNAs were extracted and quantitative RT-PCR was performed with GnRH mRNA amplifying primers. The results ran in triplicate and expressed as mean ± standard deviation. Statistical analysis: , as compared to control.
