This study was designed to investigate whether ginsenoside Rb1 (Rb1) and compound K (CK) ameliorated insulin resistance by suppressing endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER stress)-induced inflammation in adipose tissue.

The result of USRG-12 indicates that the ultrasonication processed Red ginseng extracts (at 100°C) treated for 12 hrs produced the highest amount of ginsenoside Rg3 (0.803%), Rg5 (0.167%) and Rk1 (0.175%).

Progressed tissue culture techniques have allowed to easily obtain mass product of Tissue-Cultured Mountain Ginseng over 100 years old (TCMG-100). We investigated the effects of TCMG-100 extract on erectile function by in vitro and in vivo studies.

Ginseng extracts are known to have angiogenic effects. However, to date, only limited information is available on the molecular mechanism underlying the angiogenic effects and the main components of ginseng that exert these effects. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) are used as an in vitro model for screening therapeutic agents that promote angiogenesis and wound healing. We recently isolated gintonin, a novel ginseng-derived lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) receptor ligand, from ginseng.

Knowledge on microclimate conditions under artificial shades in a ginseng field would facilitate climate-aware management of ginseng production.

We previously reported that two-phase partition chromatography between ginseng water extract and soybean oil efficiently eliminated pesticide residues. However, an undesirable odor and an unpalatable taste unique to soybean oil were two major disadvantages of the method. This study was carried out to find an alternative vegetable oil that is cost effective, labor effective and efficient without leaving an undesirable taste and smell.

Ginsenosides have been shown to exert beneficial pharmacological effects on the central nervous, cardiovascular, endocrine systems. We sought to determine whether total ginsenosides (TG) inhibit monocrotaline (MCT)-induced pulmonary hypertension and to elucidate the underlying mechanism.

Biocontrol agents are thought as promising and environmental friendly approaches as agrochemicals for phytodiseases have caused serious environmental and health problems. Trichoderma species have been widely used in suppression of soil-borne pathogens. In this study, an endophytic fungus Trichoderma gamsii YIM PH30019 from healthy Panax notoginseng root was investigated on its biocontrol potential.

The ginsenoside Rb1 (Rb1) is the most abundant compound in the root of Panax ginseng. Recent studies have shown that Rb1 has a neuroprotective effect. However, the mechanisms underlying this effect are still unknown.

This study aims to describe the characterization of Paenibacillus polymyxa GBR-1 (GBR-1) with respect to its positive and negative effects on the plants.
