A study on the Influence of Ginseng Components On cAMP-cGMP Regulation Mechanism
cAMP-cGMP 조절 메카니즘에 미치는 인삼 성분의 영향에 관한 연구
Abstract
The effect of ginsenosides on the adenylate cyclase and guanylate cyclase of rat brain has been studied. We have found that Rbl, Rc and one unknown ginsenoside (probably Ra) exerted reciprocal effects on adenylate cyclase and guanylate cyclase. This dual effect of ginsenosides leads us to speculate that some ginsenosides may act as regulatory agents and modulate the activities of these two enzyme systems.
