인삼차의 관능적 향미의 성질을 밝히고져 백미삼(白尾蓼)과 홍미삼(紅尾蓼)에서 얻어진 농축 추출액에 당(糖)을 혼합시켜 제조한 백삼차와 홍삼차를 마실 때의 온도와 설탕의 첨가가 향미에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 인삼차의 향미를 표현하는 12가지의 묘사를 선택한 뒤 QDA방법에 의하여 백삼차와 홍삼차를 비교한 결과 백삼차는 흙냄새, 마른나무냄새, 아린맛. 쓴맛등이 강하여 전반적인 향미가 홍삼차보다 강함을 보여 주었다. 온도가 증가하면서 냄새는 전반적으로 현저한 증가를 보인 반면 맛은 쓴맛과 아린맛의 증가외에 뚜렷한 변화의 경향을 보여주지 않았다. 한편, 마실 때의 설탕의 첨가는 냄새에 큰 영향이 없었으나 쓴맛, 아린맛. 떫은맛등 전반적인 맛의 감소를 나타내었다.

인삼 본래의 향기 강도를 기기분석적으로 평가할 수 있는 방법을 확립하기 위해서, SPME-GC를 이용한 휘발성 향성분 분석값과 코로써 느끼는 강도와의 상관관계를 연구하였다. 여러 장소에서 재배된 인삼시료(수삼, 백삼, 홍삼)에 대한 향기성분석결과와 코로써 느끼는 측정 결과와의 상관관계를 분석해 본 결과, 백삼과 홍삼의 경우에 관능평가에 의한 향의 강도가 높으면 GC의 peak area값도 크다는 상호관계를 얻음으로써 인삼 본래 향의 강도를 객관적으로 표기 할 수 있는 계기를 마련할 수 있었다.

발암물질을 투여하여 발생하는 마우스 폐선종은 홍삼추출믈의 투여에 의하여 그 발생율이 억제되나 수삼을 투여하면 발생율이 억제되지 않는다. 또한 암환자-대조군연구 결과에 있어서도 수삼즙 또는 수삼절편을 복용한 사람에서는 암의 위험비가 감소되지 않으나 수삼열탕 또는 홍삼을 복용하면 현저한 위험비의 감소를 볼 수 있었다. 이와 같은 결과는 열로 처리된 홍삼중에 암예방 유효성분이 있을 것이라고 추정되어 왔다. 저자들은 4종의 홍삼중의 진세노사이드 즉 Rh$_1$, Rh$_2$, Rg$_3$ 및 Rg$_{5}$ 를 고려홍삼으로부터 분리합성하여 윤의 9주 중기 항발암실험법에 의하여 항발암성을 관찰한바 진세노사이드 Rg$_3$와 Rg$_{5}$의 투여시에는 통계학적으루 유의한 폐선종 발생율이 감소되었으나 Rh$_2$에서는 폐선종발생율이 약간 감소되는 경향을 보였고 Rh$_1$에서는 전혀 영향을 주지 않았다. 이와 같은 소견으로 홍삼에 의한 항발암작용 또는 암예방작용은 홍삼중의 진세노사이드 Rg$_3$및 Rg$_{5}$가 유효성분임을 파악하였으며 이들 진세노사이드 Rg$_3$ Rg$_{5}$ 및 Rh$_2$가 단독 또는 복합적으로 작용할 것으로 추정된다.

Studies were carried out to elucidate the protein stabilizing effect of ginseng. Malate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.37) was used as a protein and the rate constant of the enzyme inactivation was determined under the heat denaturation condition. There was an optimum pH for the enzyme stability, the rate constant of the enzyme inactivation was minimum at BH 8.8. The rate constant was increased at lower and higher pH regions than the optimum pH. The inactivation reaction followed the Arrehnius law and the activation energy was measured as 36.8kcal/mole. The reaction rate was not affected by the enzyme concentration and thus it was assumed to be unimolecular first order reaction. The water extract of red ginseng decreased the rate constant of Malate dehydrogenate under heat inactivation condition to stabilize the enzyme activity. Purified ginseng saponin also stabilized the enzyme against heat inactivation.

The contents of major ginsenosides (ginsenosides Rb1, ginsenoside Rc, ginsenoside Rd, ginsenoside Re, ginsenoside Rf, and ginsenoside Rg1) in ginseng cultivated in different areas in Korea, ginseng that underwent different cultivation processes and ages, and ginseng cultivated in different countries were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography equipped with UV/VIS detector. Ginsenoside Rc was the most abundant ginsenoside in all different ginseng samples. The highest total concentration of major ginsenosides was found in the ginseng cultivated in Jinan (0.931 mg/g) and 4-year grown red ginseng (1.785 mg/g). Major ginsenosides were the most abundant in Korean ginseng (1.264 mg/g), compared to those in Chinese and American ginseng. The results of this study showed the different contents of major ginsenosides in the ginseng samples tested and emphasized which sample could contain high yield of ginsenosides.

Objectives : This study was to evaluate the pharmacological effect of Korea Red Ginseng aqueous extract (KRGE) on serum-deprived apoptosis of neuronal-like pheochromocytoma PC12 cells and to investigate its underlying action mechanism. Methods : KRGE was prepared by extracting Korea Red Ginseng with hot water and concentrating using a vacuum evaporator. Cell viability was determined after incubation of cells with KRGE or chemical inhibitor in serum-deprived medium for 60 h by counting intact nuclei following lysing of the cell membrane. Caspase activities were measured using chromogenic substrates and signal-associated protein phosphorylation and cytochrome c release were determined by Western blot analyses using their specific antibodies. Results : Serum deprivation induced PC12 cell death, which was accompanied by typical morphological features of apoptotic cell, such as nuclear fragmentation, caspase-3 activation, and cytochrome c release. This apoptotic cell death was significantly inhibited by KRGE and caspase-3 inhibitor, but not by the addition of NMA, ODQ, and PD98059. KRGE promoted phosphorylation of Akt and Bad, and this phosphorylation was inhibited by the PI3K inhibitor LY92004. In addition, this inhibitor also reversed KRGE-mediated protection of PC 12 cells from serum deprivation. These results suggested that KRGE protects PC12 cells from serum deprivation-induced apoptosis through the activation of PI3K/Akt-dependent Bad phosphorylation and cytochrome c release, resulting in caspase-3 activation. Conclusions : KRGE should be considered as a potential therapeutic drug for brain diseases including stroke induced by apoptosis of neuronal cells.

Ginseng, the root of Panax ginseng CA Meyer, is well known as a tonic medicine for restoring and enhancing human health. In traditional medicine, ginseng is utilized for the alleviation of emesis, which includes nausea and vomiting. However, it has not yet been demonstrated whether ginseng exhibits in vivo anti-nausea and anti-vomiting properties. In this study, we examined the anti-emetic effect of Korean red ginseng total extract (KRGE) on cisplatin-induced nausea and vomiting using ferrets. Intraperitoneal administration (i.p.) of cisplatin (7.5 mg/kg) induced both nausea and vomiting with one-hour latency. The episodes of nausea and vomiting reached a peak after 1.5 h and persisted for 3 h. Treatment with KRGE via oral route significantly reduced the cisplatin-induced nausea and vomiting in a dose-dependent manner. The anti-emetic effect was 12.7 $\pm$ 8.6, 31.8 $\pm$ 6.9, and 67.6 $\pm$ 4.0$\%$ with doses of 0.3, 1.0, and 3.0 g/kg of KRGE, respectively. Pretreatment with KRGE via oral route 1 and 2 h before cisplatin administration also significantly attenuated the cisplatin-induced nausea and vomiting. However this did not occur with a pretreatment 4 h before cisplatin administration. These results are supportive of KRGE being utilized as an anti-emetic agent against nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy (i.e. cisplatin).

The effects of Gypsophila saponin, sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) and Triton X-100 on volume changes and fragility of red blood cells were compared to ginseng saponin to elucidate whether there are any difference in their action on membrane lipid. Cell volume was decreased to about 38% in 1M NaCl and increased to about 20% in 1/10M NaCl. Hematocrit value was decreased by Gypsophila saponin, SDS, and Triton X-100 which caused hemolysis in isotonic NaCl solution. These detergents also inhibited increase of cell volume and accelerated hemolysis in hypotonic solution. However, ginseng saponin did not influence to osmotic volume changes and hemolysis of red blood cells. These results suggest that the disruptive effect of plant saponin on membrane barriers induced by removing membrane lipid is different from their source and ginseng saponin has very low affinity to membrane lipid.

Anti-hyperlipidemic effect of red ginseng (RG; the steamed root of Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) and Crataegii fructus (CF, the fruit of Crataegus pinnatifida BGE), which are used frequently in China and Korea as herbal medicines to treat arteriosclerosis, were investigated. Treatments of RG and CF significantly reduced blood triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol (TC) levels in Triton WR-1339-induced hyperlipidemic mice and serum TG levels in corn oil-induced hypertriglyceridemic mice. Ginsenoside Rg3 and ursolic acid, the main constituents of RG and CF, respectively, also reduced TG and TC levels in hyperlipidemic mice. RG and CF significantly lowered the high blood TG and TC levels and body and epididymal mass weights induced by long-term feeding of a high-fat diet and increased the high-fat diet-induced decrease in blood HDL cholesterol levels. RG and Rg3 reduced the blood TC levels more than CF and ursolic acid. However, blood TG level were reduced by CF and ursolic acid more than RG and Rg3. RG, CF, and their constituents also inhibited pancreatic lipase and HMG-CoA reductase activities. The most potent inhibitor was Rg3. These findings suggest that RG and CF may be suitable for the therapies of hypercholesterolemia and triglyceridemia, respectively.
