Compounds from CS extract showed phytoandrogenic activities in vitro. (a) Visualization of intracellular AR in LNCaP cells when incubated with DHT or Lut. (b) Visualization of intracellular AR in LNCaP cells when incubated with DHT, Rut, or ECG. (c), (d) The relative fluorescence intensity of AR in nuclear was quantified after treatment with Lut, Rut, or ECG. (e) AR transcriptional activity was activated by ECG in AD293 cells. (f) The proliferation of LNCaP cells was induced by ECG. Compare with control, , , and .
