1. 1개월, 2개월, 3개월 투여 시 혈압은 세 군간에 유의한 차이가 나타났으며 한국 홍삼군 및 중국 홍삼군은 대조군에 비해 혈압 감소가 나타났다.(P〈0.05) 각 군별로 보면 한국 홍삼군의 경우 0-1개월, 1-2개월 사이에 혈압이 유의하게 감소하였으며, 중국 홍삼 투여군의 경 우 0-1개월에만 유의한 감소를 보였다.(P〈0.05) 2. 1개월 투여 그룹의 경우, 혈관벽 두께는 세 군간에 유의한 차이를 보이는 것으로 나타났고, 각 군 간의 차이를 비교 하였을 때 중국 홍삼군의 경우 다른 두 군에 비해 혈관벽 두께 감소가 유의한 차이를 보였다.(P〈0.05) 2개월 투여 그룹의 경우, 혈관벽 두께는 세 군간에 유의한 차이를 보이는 것으로 나타났고, 각 군 간의 차이를 비교하였을 때 중국 홍삼군의 경우 다른 두 군에 비해 혈관벽 두께 증가가 유의한 차이를 보였다.(P〈0.05) 3개월 투여 그룹의 경우, 혈관벽 두 께는 세 군간에 유의한 차이를 보이는 것으로 나타났고, 각 군 간의 차이를 비교하였을 때 중국 홍삼군의 경우 한국 홍 삼군에 비해 혈관벽 두께의 증가가 유의하였으며 대조군에 비 해서는 혈관벽 두께 감소 경호탤 나타내었으나 통계적 유의 성은 없었다. 한국 홍삼군의 경우 두 군에 비해 혈관벽 두께 의 감소가 유의하였다.(P〈0.05) 3. 대동맥 조직 병리 검사 변화상 한국 홍삼군은 모두 대동맥 벽이 잘 유지되어 있고 단층 혈관 내피 세포가 잘 유지되어 있으나, 중국 홍삼의 경우 1개월, 2개월, 3개월 투여 시 세포핵의 비후가 비교적 뚜렷하게 관찰되며 세포핵의 방향성 (Orientation)과 극성 (Polarity)의 소실이 특징적으로 관찰되었고 평활근 섬유가 갈라지거나 찢어진(Split or tearing) 양상을 관찰할 수 있었다. 이상으로, 홍삼 투여 시 혈압 강하 효과가 나타남을 알 수 있었고, 한국 홍삼이 중국 홍삼에 비해 혈압 하강 효과를 좀 더 지속시킬 기능성 및 대동맥 조직 병리 소견 상 혈관 보호 효과에 대한 추론을 할 수 있었다. Introduction: Korean red ginseng has been shown to have an preventive effect on atheroma fonnation and enhancing effect on nitric oxide synthesis in endothelial cell inducing vasodilatation. However, there are few studies showing the effect of Korean red ginseng on blood pressure and vascular(endothelial) pathologic changes together. We designed this study to show changes of blood pressure and vascular pathologic findings with Korean red ginseng administration compared with Chinese red ginseng and control for 3 months in rats. Materials and methods: We studied the in vitro hypotensive effect and effect on vascular pathologic changes of Korean red ginseng compared with Chinese red ginseng and control. Rats were randomly assigned to three groups(Korean red ginseng, Chinese red ginseng and control) and evaluated by blood pressure and aortic vascular(endothelial) pathologic changes monthly during 3-month administration All results were analyzed by paired T-test, ANOVA and post-hoc. Results: Blood pressure loweling effect was noted on Korean red ginseng and Chinese red ginseng compared to control. Especially, in Korean red ginseng group, hypotensive effect was showed in first and second month, but, in Chinese red ginseng group, it was just noted in first month. In case of vascular(aortic endothelial) pathologic finding, endothelial wall thickening and elastic fiber tearing were noted in Chinese red ginseng group compared with Korean red ginseng group and control with statistical significance.(p<O.05) Discussion: These results suggested Korean red ginseng could have more hypotensive effect and maintenance rather than Chinese red ginseng. And the difference of hypotensive effect between Korean red ginseng and Chinese red ginseng might has some association with difference of vascular pathologic findings in each group. However, further evaluation and research of other mechanism will be needed to convince this hypothesis.

Korean Red Ginseng: Qualitative and Quantitative Benefits on Helicobacter pylori Infection

Jun Won Chung,Yoon Jae Kim,So Jung Lee,Ki Baik Hahm 고려인삼학회 2010 Journal of Ginseng Research Vol.34 No.2

Ginseng has been reported to reduce the risk of cancer in diverse organs, including the lip, oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, esophagus, lung, liver, pancreas, ovary, colon, rectum, and stomach, as demonstrated in clinical and epidemiological studies. studies, base on which findings, Panax ginseng has been classified as a “non-organ-specific cancer preventive.” However, the recent keen interest in traditional medicinal herbs has been frequently questioned, about exact mode of action and the use of panaceic compounds has been a prime issue discussed in terms of complementary and alternative medicine. Several in vitro and in vivo studies have shown the mitigating effects of Korean red ginseng on Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)-associated atrophic changes and carcinogenesis; However, evidence-based medicine, consisting of large-scale or well designed clinical studies, is still warranted whether Korean red ginseng is to be recognized as an essential therapeutic strategy regarding a “H. pylori-associated gastric cancer preventive.” Specifically, comprehensive clinical trials of Korean red ginseng are needed to demonstrate that mucosal regeneration in patients with atrophic gastritis is feasible using Korean red ginseng supplements after the eradication of H. pylori infection. Ginseng is a good example of a natural herb and its ubiquitous properties may include the reduction or delay of inflammation carcinogenesis. Korean red ginseng contains ample amounts of active ginsenosides and we have demonstrated their effects in in vitro and in vivo studies with positive outcomes. In this review, the quantitative and qualitative benefits of Korean red ginseng in the treatment of H. pylori infection are described.

고려인삼과 미국삼의 품질요인별 수삼 및 홍삼등급 비교

정찬문,신주식 韓國藥用作物學會 2006 한국약용작물학회지 Vol.14 No.4

고려인삼과 미국삼에 있어 원료수삼의 품질 외적요인과 홍삼품질과의 관계를 조사하여 종간특성을 비교하였다. 원료수삼의 편급과 등급을 결정하는 품질요인은 체형계수, 동장 그리고 근중을 적용하였으며 이들 요인과 홍삼 품질관계를 구명하였다. 1. 편급의 분포는 고려인삼의 경우 중편과 대편급이 많았으나 미국삼은 중편과 소편급이 많았으며 미국삼은 고려인삼에 비해 동장이 짧고 동직경이 굵고 부정형 지근이 많았다. 2. 원료삼 품질은 고려인삼이 미국삼에 비하여 양호하였고 홍삼품질은 고려인삼이 지삼 이상의 고급홍삼이 많았으나 미국삼은 양삼과 같이 저급홍삼이 많았다. 3. 원료수삼 품질요인중 중편삼과 대편삼의 경우 고려인삼은 체형계수 0.5 이하였으나 미국삼은 0.5를 상회하여 미국삼은 홍삼품질에 적합하지 않았다. 4. 고려인삼과 미국삼 모두 품질요인으로 동장과 근중은 홍삼품질과의 관계에서 비슷한 경향이나 체형계수가 특히 홍삼의 품질을 좌우하는 요인이었다. 5. 따라서 고려인삼과 미국삼 모두 원료삼과 홍삼품질 향상을 위해 근중, 체형계수 그리고 동장의 조정이 요망되었다. Comparison of the grade of raw ginseng and that of red ginseng was investigated. The materials used in this study were Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer) and American ginseng(Panax quinquefolium L.) Coefficient of body term, length of main stem and weight of raw ginseng were used as the classifying criteria of the root size and grades. Korean ginseng distinguished the distribution of weight size from that of American ginseng. Korean ginseng distributed largely in middle and large root size, and American ginseng distributed largely in middle and small root size. American ginseng had shorter length of main root, bigger diameter of main root and more number of adventitious roots than Korean ginseng. The quality of Korean ginseng was better than that of American ginseng. In Korean ginseng, high quality of red ginseng above second grade (Jisam) was obtained, but low quality of red ginseng under third grade (Yangsam) in American ginseng. In Korean raw ginseng, the coefficients of body form of middle weight and large weight size were under 0.5, but those of American ginseng was over 0.5. So American ginseng were not adequate to produce good red ginseng. Those factors as length of main root and weight of main root were not significantly influenced on the qualify of red ginseng in both Korean ginseng and American ginseng. Coefficient of body form was leading factor affecting the quality of red ginseng. To improve the quality of red ginseng, coefficient of body form, weight of main root and length of main root were controlled adequately in both Korean ginseng and American ginseng.

The purpose of this study was to prepare Korean traditional vinegar using ginseng radices (wild simulated ginseng, red ginseng), and to investigate its functional ingredients and functionality. The total amino acid content of red ginseng vinegar and wild simulated ginseng vinegar was 124.36 mg% and 168.37 mg%, respectively, which was confirmed to be higher than the total amino acid content of red ginseng and wild simulated ginseng (70.71 mg%, 76.29 mg%). In addition, the polyphenol contents of red ginseng vinegar and wild simulated ginseng vinegar were 73.26 mg/g and 82.43 mg/g, respectively, which was confirmed to be higher than that of red ginseng and wild simulated ginseng (43.42 mg/g, 51.32 mg/g). And also, the DPPH electron donating ability of red ginseng vinegar and wild simulated ginseng vinegar was 893.26 μg/mL, 803.92 μg/mL, which showed that the scavenging ability was better than that of red ginseng and wild simulated ginseng (1253.21 μg/mL, 1021.01 μg/mL). On the other hand, it was confirmed that red ginseng vinegar and wild simulated ginseng vinegar contain 0.024% and 0.028% of compound K, a unique component of fermented ginseng, which is not contained in red ginseng and wild simulated ginseng. From these results, it was confirmed that Korean traditional vinegar using ginseng radices is a traditional functional food with functional ingredients and antioxidant activity.

Effects of Korean Red Ginseng on Cognitive and Motor Function: A Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled Trial

Yeo, Hye-Bin,Yoon, Ho-Kyoung,Lee, Heon-Jeong,Kang, Seung-Gul,Jung, Ki-Young,Kim, Leen The Korean Society of Ginseng 2012 Journal of Ginseng Research Vol.36 No.2

Ginseng has a long history of use for health enhancement, and there is some evidence from animal studies that it has a beneficial effect on cognitive performance. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Korean red ginseng on cognitive performance in humans. A total of 15 healthy young males with no psychiatric or cognitive problems were selected based on an interview with a board-certified psychiatrist. The subjects were randomly assigned to receive a daily dose of 4,500 mg red ginseng or placebo for a 2-week trial. There were 8 subjects in the red ginseng group and 7 subjects in the placebo group. All of the subjects were analyzed with the Vienna test system and a P300 event-related potential (ERP) test. There were no significant differences in the Vienna test system scores between the red ginseng group and the placebo group. In the event-related potential test, the C3 latency of the red ginseng group tended to decrease during the study period (p=0.005). After 2 wk, significant decreases were observed in the P300 latencies at Cz (p=0.008), C3 (p=0.005), C4 (p=0.002), and C mean (p=0.003) in the red ginseng group. Our results suggest that the decreased latency in ERP is associated with improved cognitive function. Further studies with a higher dosage of ginseng, a larger sample size, and a longer follow-up period are necessary to confirm the clinical efficacy of Korean red ginseng.

홍삼의 자기공명 특성과 영상 분석

임종국,김성민 한국농업기계학회 2003 바이오시스템공학 Vol.28 No.3

In this study, the feasibility of magnetic resonance techniques for nondestructive internal quality evaluation of Korean red ginseng was examined. Relaxation time constants were measured using various grades of red ginsengs. Solid state magnetic resonance imaging technique was applied to image dried red ginseng which have low moisture contents (about 13%). A 7 tesla magnetic resonance imaging system operating at a proton resonant frequency of 300 MHZ was used for acquiring MR images of dried Korean red ginseng. The comparison test of cross cut digital images and magnetic resonance images of heaven grade, good grade with cavity inside, and good grade with white part inside red ginseng suggested the feasibility of the internal quality evaluation of Korean red ginsengs using MRI techniques. A good grade red ginseng included abnormal tissues such as cavities or white parts inside was observed by the signal intensity of MR image based on magnetic resonance properties of proton nucleus. Analysis on an one dimensional profile of acquired MR image of Korean red ginseng showed easy discrimination of normal and abnormal tissues. MR techniques suggested ways to detect internal defects of red ginsengs effectively.

Sun Ok Kim,Chan-Woong Park,Sangyoung Moon,Hyun A Lee,Byongki Kim,Dong Un Lee,Jae Ho Lee,Jiyong Park 한국식품과학회 2007 Food Science and Biotechnology Vol.16 No.5

The effects of high-hydrostatic pressure (HHP) on the ginsenoside concentration in Korean red ginseng were investigated. HHP-pretreated Korean red ginseng samples were compared to samples produced by a conventional method. Six-year-old Korean fresh ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) samples were vacuum-packaged in polyethylene film and treated at room temperature for 1 min with HHP (200-600 MPa) and steamed at 98oC for 3 hr. Major ginsenosides of red ginseng were analyzed by HPLC. HHP-pretreated red ginseng showed a 45% higher level of total major ginsenosides than conventionally prepared red ginseng. The levels of 4 protopanaxadiol-type ginsenosides increased 34-43% and the levels of 5 protopanaxatriol-type ginsenosides increased 45-66%. Scanning electron microscopy and electrical conductivity spectrum analysis showed that HHP pretreatment damaged ginseng plant cells and increased extraction efficiencies of ginsenosides from red ginseng products.

Current Clinical Evidence for Korean Red Ginseng in Management of Diabetes and Vascular Disease: A Toronto’s Ginseng Clinical Testing Program

Vladimir Vuksan,John Sievenpipper,Elena Jovanovski,Alexandra L. Jenkins 고려인삼학회 2010 Journal of Ginseng Research Vol.34 No.4

While ginseng is reported to have a wide array of applications, there is growing evidence for its indications in diabetes and vascular disease. A clear connection, however, has not been established between ginseng’s composition, dose and its targeted efficacy in humans. We therefore developed and initiated the Korean Red Ginseng Clinical Testing Program for diabetes and vascular function which is an efficacy and safety-based clinical screening model for ginseng. The most efficacious sources, ginsenoside profiles, doses, and modes of administration were examined in sequential, acute, followed by long term, random- acute, followed by long term, random-andomized-controlled trials to investigate the efficacy and safety profiles. This review discusses the current state of the clinical re- This review discusses the current state of the clinical re- research of Korean red ginseng program conducted in Toronto, paving the way for the use of clinically selected ginseng and its ginsenoside fractions in the management of diabetes and vascular diseases.
