초록

We have investigated the effect of MeOH extract of cultured ginseng roots on hyperlipidemic rats induced by fat-rich diet. We also analyzed and compared ginsenosides of cultured ginsengs by HPLC. After oral administration of the extract to hyperlipidemic rats for four weeks, the variables including body weight, cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and triglyceride levels in serum were measured. One of the cultured ginseng roots (CBN3) decreased cholesterol and LDL -cholesterol and increased HDL-cholesterol levels in serum.. (omitted)
