Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) verification of microarray data.

Select genes which were induced or repressed based on microarray data were verified using qPCR. Microarray values are listed as the fold-change following Astragalus membranaceus treatment relative to ethanol treatment. qPCR values are listed as the fold change (outside parentheses) and the change in the cycle threshold (Ct) (inside parentheses) following Astragalus treatment relative to ethanol treatment (+ = induction, − = repression).
