Phytoandrogenicity of E. ulmoides (EU) extract. The dose response curve of an E. ulmoides extract with concentrations ranging from 0.25 ng/ml treatment medium to 50 ng/ml treatment medium. Hela cells transiently expressing androgen receptor (AR) in the presence of AR-responsive luciferase reporter gene (Luc) were exposed to increasing doses of the extract. Comparatively, testosterone (1 nM) has 100-fold Luc activity relative to the maximal E. ulmoides 6.4-fold Luc activity. Data are mean ± SE of three replicates.
