Alleviation of diabetic complications by ginsenoside Rg3-enriched red ginseng extract in western diet-fed LDL–/– mice

摘要

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/serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase), alanine aminotransferase /serum glutamate-pyruvate transaminase, and steatohepatitis were found to be reduced, and atheroma formation was inhibited by Rg3-enriched red ginseng extract. Keywords: antiatheromatic, antidiabetic, antihypercholesterolemic, Rg3-enriched Korean Red Ginseng extract
