Immune-Enhancing Effects of Crude Polysaccharides from Korean Ginseng Berries on Spleens of Mice with Cyclophosphamide-Induced Immunosuppression

Ju Hyun Nam et al.

Summary: This study found that crude Korean ginseng berries polysaccharides (GBP) exhibit immunomodulatory activities against cyclophosphamide-induced immunosuppression. GBP can increase spleen sizes and indices, activate NK cell activities, and promote proliferation of splenic lymphocytes. Additionally, GBP significantly stimulates mRNA expression levels of immune associated genes.

UHPLC-MS-Based Serum and Urine Metabolomics Reveals the Anti-Diabetic Mechanism of Ginsenoside Re in Type 2 Diabetic Rats

Heyu Wang et al.

Summary: Panax ginseng has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for over a thousand years to treat diabetes mellitus, with its major active ingredient being Ginsenoside Re. This study investigated the anti-diabetic effects and mechanisms of Ginsenoside Re in T2DM rats, revealing its ability to significantly lower blood glucose and lipid levels, improve renal function, and regulate metabolic disorders through pathways such as promoting insulin secretion.

Hypoglycemic and Hypolipidemic Effects of Malonyl Ginsenosides from American Ginseng (Panax quinquefolius L.) on Type 2 Diabetic Mice

Zhi Liu et al.

Summary: This study investigated the antidiabetic effects and underlying mechanisms of malonyl ginsenosides in American ginseng on high-fat diet/streptozotocin-induced type 2 diabetes mellitus in mice. Results showed that 14 malonyl ginsenosides were identified in the malonyl ginsenosides from American ginseng, with m-Rb1 representing the majority. After a 5-week experiment, the malonyl ginsenosides significantly improved glucose and lipid metabolism, insulin resistance, and protein expressions related to key pathways in the liver and skeletal muscle. These findings suggest the potential of malonyl ginsenosides as a candidate drug for treating type 2 diabetes mellitus.
