Abstract

The purpose of this study finds out the effect of red ginseng extract (1.0g/kg) on TBTO (10, 20, and 40mg/kg) which poisons against some organs like thyroids gland, liver, kidney, testis, ovary, sex hormone activity of rats are examined by gastric tubing for 3 weeks. The weight of each organ in treated group were increased, especially liver in female and those of testis in males were significantly increased at 10, 20 and 40mg/kg (P<0.05, P<0.01). In case of sex hormone activity of each sex, the estradiol activity of female and testosterone activity of males were significantly decreased rather than the control group (P<0.05, P<0.01) According to between the TBTO treated group and 10+ rGe group of the testosterone activity each sex were significantly increased (P<0.01).
