Equol inhibits proliferation of human gastric carcinoma cells via modulating Akt pathway

Figure 3 Effect of equol on the expression of cell cycle regulators. Cells were treated with 20 μmol/L of equol for different durations. A: The mRNA expression of cell cycle regulators was detected by q-PCR; B: The levels of cell cycle regulatory proteins were determined by Western blot assay (^aP < 0.05 vs control, ^bP < 0.01 vs control, ^cP < 0.001 vs control).
