Figure 2. The effect of silymarin on the expression of PTEN.

Silymarin (200 mg/kg body weight) was orally administered once daily to Wistar rats for 2 weeks. Skeletal muscle (A) and liver (B) were isolated for identification of PTEN expression using western blotting analysis. Data are obtained from 6 individual experiments and expressed as mean ± standard error of mean. *P<0.05; **P<0.01 compared with the vehicle-treated group (first column).
