Abstract
Inflammation that is considered to be mainly related to pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis (AD) is the biological response of a host to stimuli, such as cellular injury or infection. In this study, we investigated the anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative activities of white ginseng roots by ultra high pressure extraction (Gin-UHP), fermentation followed by ultra high pressure extraction (Gin-UHPF), and polyol extraction (Gin-POL). As a result, ginseng extracts were able to decrease the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines (interleukin-8 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha) and immunoglobulin E. Also, Gin-POL had the highest DPPH radical scavenging activity and when we compared the SOD-like activity, Gin-UHP had the highest. Moreover, we looked into the effect of these ginseng extracts on anti-aging to show the possible usefulness as a raw material of cosmetics. As a result, ginseng extracts were able to reduce the production of melanin, and inhibit the tyrosinase and elastase activities in a dose-dependent manner. The extracts also decreased the expression of MMP-1 and had a significant hyaluronidase inhibitory activity. Taken together, these results demonstrate that ginseng extracts may have an improvement effect on AD by using its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
