The prevalence of allergic inflammatory diseases such as atopic dermatitis, asthma, and allergic rhinitis worldwide has increased and complete recovery is difficult. Korean Red Ginseng, which is the heat-processed root of Panax ginseng Meyer, is widely and frequently used as a traditional medicine in East Asia. In this study, we investigated whether Korean Red Ginseng extract (RGE) regulates the expression of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines via mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs)/NF-κB pathway in allergic inflammation.

Joboksansam, Korean bird wild ginseng, is an artificially cultivated wild ginseng germinated from bird feces. Although numerous pharmacologic activities of wild ginsengs have been reported, the beneficial effect of joboksansam in cancer has not been elucidated. In this study, we investigated the in vivo and in vitro anticancer activities of joboksansam powder.

Korean ginseng, Panax ginseng Meyer (P. ginseng), has been used as a traditional oriental medicine to treat illness and promote health for several thousand years. Ginsenosides are the main constituents for the pharmacological effects of P. ginseng. Since several ginsenosides, including G-Rg3 and G-Rp1, was reported the anti-platelet activity, here we investigated the ability of G-Rp4 to modulate ADP-induced platelet aggregation. The ginsenoside Rp4 (G-Rp4), a similar chemical structure of ginseoside Rp1, was prepared from G-Rg1 by chemical modification.

The present study investigated the effect of ginseng berry hot water extract (GBx) on blood flow via regulation of lipid metabolites and blood coagulation in rats fed a high-fat diet (HFD).

Ginsenoside Rc (G-Rc) is one of the major protopanaxadiol-type saponins isolated from Panax ginseng, a well-known medicinal herb with many beneficial properties including anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-obesity, and anti-diabetic effects. In this study, we investigated the effects of G-Rc on inflammatory responses in vitro and examined the mechanisms of these effects.

The American ginseng (Panax. Quinquefolius. L) and Asian ginseng (Panax. ginseng. Meyer) products, such as slices, show similar appearance, but they have significant different prices, leading to wide adulteration in commercial market. Their aroma characteristics are attracting increasing attention and supposed to be effective and non-destructive markers to determine adulteration.
