Fig. 2 Effects of the Asiasari radix extract on protein synthesis. The isolated murine vibrissae follicles were treated with the A. radix extract and 1 mCi/ml of L-[35 S]cysteine for 72 h. Radioactivity was measured by liquid scintillation counter. The results are shown as the mean values S.E. of quadruplicate measurements(*P < 0.05 vs. control).
