The Change of ginsenoside composition in the Red ginseng () by the ultrasonication process
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%).

In vitro and in vivo evaluation of Tissue-cultured mountain ginseng on penile erection
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.

Effects of gintonin on the proliferation, migration, and tube formation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells: involvement of lysophosphatidic acid receptors and VEGF signaling
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.

Canola oil is an excellent vehicle for eliminating pesticide residues in aqueous ginseng extract
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.

Total ginsenosides suppress monocrotaline-induced pulmonary hypertension in rats: involvement of nitric oxide and mitogen-activated protein kinases pathways
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.

Endophytic YIM PH30019: a promising biocontrol agent with hyperosmolar, mycoparasitism and antagonistic activities of induced volatile organic compounds on root-rot pathogenic fungi of
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.

Proteomic analysis reveals that the protective effects of ginsenoside Rb1 are associated with the actin cytoskeleton in -amyloid-treated neuronal cells
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.
