Background: Experimental evidence indicates that ginseng modulate the nociceptive transmission. Authors examined the role of adrenergic and cholinergic receptors on the antinociceptive action of Korean red ginseng against the formalin-induced pain at the spinal level. Methods: Catheters were inserted into the intrathecal space of male Sprague-DawIey rats. Fifty ${\mu}l$ of 5% formalin solution was injected to the hindpaw for induction of pain and formalin-induced pain (flinching response) was observed. The role of spinal adrenergic and cholinergic receptors on the effect of Korean red ginseng was assessed by antagonists (Prazosin, yohimbine, atropine and mecamylamine). Results: Intrathecal Korean red ginseng produced a dose-dependent suppression of the flinching response in the rat formalin test. All of prazosin, yohimbine, atropine and mecamylamine antagonized the antinociception of Korean red ginseng. Conclusions: Spinal Korean red ginseng is effective against acute pain and facilitated pain state evoked by formalin injection. All of alpha 1, alpha 2, muscarinic and nicotinic receptors may play an important role in the antinociceptive action of Korean red ginseng at the spinal level.

The study was conducted to investigate the condition for mixed fermentation of Rhodilola sachalinensis with red ginseng using Lactobacillus acidophillus 128 and the changes of physicochemical properties and antioxidant activities before and after the lactic acid fermentation was examined. In the single fermentation of Rhodiola sachalinensis extract, the pH and titratable acidity rarely changed, and the number of lactic acid bacteria decreased greatly. On the other hand, in the lactic acid fermentation of Rhodiola sachalinensis-red ginseng mixed extract of 50% red ginseng content, the pH decreased, whereas the titratable acidity and the number of lactic acid bacteria increased. The solid content of optimal mixed extract for lactic acid fermentation was 0.5%. Sugar content decreased during fermentation, but total phenolic compounds tended to increase during fermentation. The salidroside and p-tyrosol content of the initial Rhodiola sachalinensis-red ginseng mixed extract was 419.5 mg% and 60.1 mg%, respectively; after fermentation, the salidroside content after lactic acid fermentation decreased greatly to 81.8 mg%, and the amount of p-tyrosol increased greatly to 324.9 mg%. The DPPH scavenging activity of Rhodiola sachalinensis-red ginseng mixed fermentate was 78.1% at 0.1% concentration, showing a tendency to increase as compared to 50.3% of Rhodiola sachalinensis-red ginseng mixed extract before the fermentation (p<0.05); it was a higher antioxidant activity as compared to the single fermentation of Rhodiola sachalinensis or red ginseng.

목 적: 인삼은 한국을 비롯한 아시아 국가에서 전통적으로 불면증의 치료에 사용되어 왔으며 쥐를 이용한 동물실험에서 수면을 촉진시키는 효과가 있다는 연구 결과가 있어왔다. 하지만 이러한 효과를 입증할 만한 임상 실험은 거의 이루어지지 않았다. 이에 본 연구에서는 고려 홍삼이 수면에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 한다. 방 법: 건강한 성인 남성 20명을 대상으로 하였으며 이들은 무작위로 홍삼군과 위약군에 배정되어 2주간의 실험이 진행되었다. 홍삼군의 경우 하루 4,500 mg의 홍삼을 섭취하였다. 실험 시작시점과 2주 후인 종료시점에 수면다원검사를 시행하여 두군간의 변수의 변화를 비교하였다. 결 과: 총 15명의 대상자, 즉 홍삼군 8명과 위약군 7명이 수면다원검사를 시행 받았으며 홍삼군이 위약군 보다 실험 종료 시점에서 3단계 수면이 증가한(p=0.087) 반면에 2단계 수면이 감소하는(p=0.071) 경향을 나타냈다. 결 론: 본 연구 결과는 고려 홍삼이 깊은 잠은 증가시키고 얕은 잠은 감소시키는 경향이 있음을 보여준다. 이는 통계적으로 유의한 결과는 아니지만 홍삼이 수면의 질을 향상시키는 데 효과적임을 짐작하게 한다. 그러나, 보다 많은 대상군과 충분한 홍삼 용량으로 보다 긴 기간 동안 진행되는 연구를 통해 고려 홍삼의 수면에 대한 효과를 확인할 필요가 있다.

The effects of aqueous extracts of red ginseng on the damage of DNA and erythrocyte by herbicides were evaluated using comet assay and hemolysis assay. Notably, the oxidative DNA damage and erytbrocyte hemolysis by 2,4-D (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid) and 2,4,5-T (2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid) were significantly suppressed by red ginseng treatment. Moreover, red ginseng could suppress significantly paraquat-induced oxidative DNA damage and hemolysis. These suppressive effects of red ginseng on the herbicide-induced damages might be due to the antioxidant components.

우리나라의 건강기능식품법에서는 인삼 또는 홍삼의 기능성이 자양강장, 면역증진 및 원기회복으로 한정되어 있다. 지금까지 홍삼에 함유된 갈변물질과 산성다당체에 대해서 많은 연구가 수행되었는데, 갈변물질은 항산화 활성과 면역증진기능, 그리고 산성다당체는 소화기관암의 증상개선, 면역기능 증진, 혈압개선, 혈액응고방지, 조혈기능, 알콜해독(간기능 회복, 고지혈 개선 등) 등의 효능이 우수하다고 보고되었다. 이러한 관점에서 현재 인삼과 홍삼의 3가지 기능성외에 항산화활성이라든지 그 외 더 많은 기능성을 추가할 필요성이 있으며, 또 홍삼에 함유되어 있는 활성성분을 적극적으로 이용하여 기준규격형제품은 물론이고 질병위험감소에 대해서 기능성을 표시할 수 있는 개별인정형 제품이나 나아가서는 일반 또는 전문의약품으로 개발하여 홍삼의 이용 가능성을 극대화시키고 국제적으로 경쟁력이 있는 한국인삼으로 그 위상을 제고시켜야 한다고 생각한다.

Background: The reports about valuable oligosaccharides in ginseng are quite limited. There is an urgent need to develop a practical procedure to detect and analyze ginseng oligosaccharides. Methods: The oligosaccharide extracts from ginseng were permethylated by solid-phase methylation method and then were analyzed by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-Q-Orbitrap/MS. The sequence, linkage, and configuration information of oligosaccharides were determined by using accurate m/z value and tandem mass information. Several standard references were used to further confirm the identification. The oligosaccharide composition in white ginseng and red ginseng was compared using a multivariate statistical analysis method. Results: The nonreducing oligosaccharide erlose among 12 oligosaccharides identified was reported for the first time in ginseng. In the comparison of the oligosaccharide extracts from white ginseng and red ginseng, a clear separation was observed in the partial least squares-discriminate analysis score plot, indicating the sugar differences in these two kinds of ginseng samples. The glycans with variable importance in the projection value large than 1.0 were considered to contribute most to the classification. The contents of oligosaccharides in red ginseng were lower than those in white ginseng, and the contents of maltose, maltotriose, maltotetraose, maltopentaose, maltohexaose, maltoheptaose, maltooctaose, maltononaose, sucrose, and erlose decreased significantly (p < 0.05) in red ginseng. Conclusion: A solid-phase methylation method combined with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was successfully applied to analyze the oligosaccharides in ginseng extracts, which provides the possibility for holistic evaluation of ginseng oligosaccharides. The comparison of oligosaccharide composition of white ginseng and red ginseng could help understand the differences in pharmacological activities between these two kinds of ginseng samples from the perspective of glycans.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of water extracts from 4-, 5- and 6-year old red white ginseng roots on the inhibition of lipolysis in fat cells induced by toxohormone-L which has been known as lipolytic and anorexigenic factors. Toxohormone-L was obtained by partial purification of the ascites fluid from mice which had been inoculated with sarcoma-180. Each water extract of ginseng was effective in vitro against the inhibition of lipolysis induced by the toxohormone-L at the concentrations over 10~100 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml. At the concentration of 1,000 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml, the inhibition ratio of lipolysis by the water extracts of 4-, 5- and 6-year old white ginseng roots were 56.3, 59.7 and 59.4%, and those of red ginseng roots were 78.6, 79.1 and 82.5%, respectively, indicating that the 6-year old red ginseng was the most effective in the inhibition of the lipolysis. The total inhibitory activity per gram of ginseng sample was higher in the 4-year and 5-year old white ginseng roots at the concentrations of 100 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml and 1,000 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml, respectively, while for the red ginseng it was higher in the 6-year old ginseng than other ages regardless of the reaction concentration. Only once injection of the ginseng extracts(300 mg/ml in saline solution) with 10 ${mu}ell$/g of weight to the mice bearing sarcoma-180 was not effective against the extension of their life spans. On the contrary, the life spans of the mice were rather shortened by the injection of 5-year old white ginseng and 6-year old red ginseng, as compared to that of control.

Living organisms have antioxidant enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase, catalase SE glutathione peroxidase, that protect themselves from the toxic effect of superoxide free radicals. Some report says that intracellular oxidation stress is involved in pathogenesis of chronic complications of diabetes mellitus. This study was performed to evaluate the effect of red ginseng on lipid peroxidation of red blood cell and antioxidant SOD activity of serum in NIDDM patients. As a result, there were trends for decrease of lipid peroxidases of RBC and Increase of SOD activity of serum in ginseng group but that were not statistically significant. Therefore, we suggest long term and large sized control study is necessary to confirm the protective effects of red ginseng on oxidative damage in NIDDM patients.
