Blind and excessive application of fertilizer was found during the cultivation of Panax notoginseng in field, as well as the increase of root rot disease incidence.

It is not clear whether ginseng affects cyclosporine (CsA)-induced desirable immunosuppressive action. In this study, we evaluated the immunological influence of combined treatment of ginseng with CsA.

Panax ginseng has a wide range of biological activities including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory functions. Wild ginseng cambial meristematic cells (CMCs) were obtained from P. ginseng cambium. This study examined the protective mechanism of wild ginseng CMCs against D-galactosamine (GalN)-induced liver injury. GalN, a well-known hepatotoxicant, causes severe hepatocellular inflammatory damage and clinical features similar to those of human viral hepatitis in experimental animals.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive brain disease, for which there is no effective drug therapy at present. Ginsenoside Rg1 (G-Rg1) and Ginsenoside Rg2 (G-Rg2) have been reported to alleviate memory deterioration. However, the mechanism of their anti-AD effect hasn’t yet been clearly elucidated.
