Abstract

Election microscopic investigation were conducted on the mature mouse (B.W. about 25g) liver which was treated with Ginseng water extract during three, six and nine days respectivelly after carbon tetracholride injection into abdominal cavity. The results obtained were as follows: The liver cells of control group treated with carbon tetrachloride alone were restored slowly. The liver cells of experimental group treated with Ginseng water extract after carbon tetrachloride injection, however, were shown the appearance of well-developed ${\gamma}-ER$ and Golgi complex, marked aggregation of glycogen particles, and a number of large lipid droplets which are attached markedly with glycogen particles as compared to the control group. As these findings, it could be suggested that Ginseng gives an activation to restore the damaged liver cells.
