Gene expression levels of selected genes in MCF-7 cells after 24 h treatment with black cohosh extract (15 μg/ml), the triterpene glycoside actein (20 μM) or the triterpene aglycon mixture (30 μM)

For actein () and the aglycons () expression levels were determined by real-time RT-PCR. Bars represent gene expression levels as fold changes calculated DMSO control. RT-PCR measurements were done at least in triplicate. The data are presented as means ± SD (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001: gene expression statistically significantly different from DMSO control, calculated by Student's t-test)
