Ginseng is a natural product best known for its curative properties in diverse physiological processes such as cancers, neurodegenerative disorders, hypertension and maintenance of hemostasis in the immune system. In previous decades, there have been some promising studies into the pharmacology and chemistry of ginseng components and the relationship between their structure and function. The emerging use of modified ginseng and development of new compounds from ginseng for clinical studies have been a topic of study for many researchers.

In this study, we precisely showed how the Rg3-enriched Red Ginseng extract (Rg3-RGE) lowers glucose, triglyceride, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels in LDL-/- mice. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST/SGOT), alanine aminotransferase (ALT/SGPT), and steatohepatitis were found to be reduced, and atheroma formation was inhibited by Rg3-RGE.

Ginseng black spot disease resulting from Alternaria panax Whuetz is a common soil-borne disease, with an annual incidence rate which is higher than 20% ∼ 30%. The bacterial strains with good antagonistic effect against A. panax are screened.

Bioactive compounds in plant extracts are able to reduce metal ions to nanoparticles through the process of green synthesis. Panax ginseng is an oriental medicinal herb and an adaptogen which has been used to cure various diseases from long history. In addition, the P. ginseng leaves mediated gold nanoparticles are the value-added novel materials. Its potential as a cosmetic ingredient is still unexplored. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant, moisture retention and whitening properties of gold nanoparticles (PgAuNPs) in cosmetic applications.

Red ginseng is a popularly used traditional medicine with anti-aging effects in Asian countries. The present study aimed to explore changes in protein expression underlying the mechanisms of lifespan extension and anti-aging caused by red ginseng extract (RGE) in Drosophila melanogaster.

Panax notoginseng is a highly valued medicine and functional food, whose quality is considered to be influenced by the sizes, botanical parts and growth environments.

Ginsenoside Rg3(S) and C-K are pharmacologically active components of ginseng that promote human health and improve quality of life. The aim of this study was to produce Rg3(S) and C-K from ginseng extract using recombinant Lactococcus lactis.

In recent years, several therapeutical drugs have been rationally designed and synthesized based on the novel knowledge gained from investigating the actions of biologically active chemicals derived from foods, plants, and medicinal herbs. One of the major advantages of these naturalistic chemicals is their ability to interact with multiple targets in the body resulting in a combined beneficial effect. Ginseng is a perennial herb (Araliaceae family), a species within the genus Panax, and a highly valued and popular medicinal plant.

Explosive puffing can induce changes in the chemical, nutritional, and sensory quality of red ginseng. The antioxidant properties of ethanolic extracts of red ginseng and puffed red ginseng were determined in bulk oil and oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions.

Previous studies have shown that both ginseng root and ginseng berry exhibited anti-obesity and anti-diabetic effects. However, a direct comparison of the efficacy and mechanisms between the root and the berry after oral administration remains to be illuminated.
