Figure 4

Comparative analysis of the effects of gelsemine and G. sempervirens at 9 or 5 cH on [ ]PROG conversion into [ ]3 ,5 -THP by SC 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 the control group. Each value is the mean ( SEM) of four independent experiments. , as compared to control; , as compared to gelsemine (ANOVA followed by Bonferroni's test).
