초록

In the present study, we investigated the antitumor effects of Ginsenoside Rh2 and $\beta$-glucan using an experimental metastatic mouse model intravenously injected with B 16 melanoma F10 cells. Oral administration to various concentration of $\beta$-glucan (50mg/kg, l00mg/kg and 200mg/kg) dose-dependently reduced the lung-metastatic potential of metastatic BI6 melanoma F10 cells in syngenic mice. At same dose, Ginsenoside Rh2(50mg/kg) has more antitumor effect than $\beta$-glucan(50mg/kg). (omitted)
