중금속 중독시 인삼이 혈액성분에 미치는 영향
Abstract
The effects of ginseng on the blood biochemical components of heavy metals poisoning in mice were examined and following results were obtained. Albumin was decreased slightly in the heavy metal administration groups. But Serum Calcium, Glucose were almost the same as that of control group during the period. Heavy metal poisoning mice showed low levels of serum Total protein and A/G ratio. They also showed high levels of serum GOT, GPT, BUN, Cholesterol, Creatinine and Triglycerides. However, the administration of ginseng significantly inhibited the elevation of them.
