Ginseng extract is a medicinal component extracted from ginseng,which contains various active substances such as ginsenosides,polysaccharides,phenolic acids,etc.These components are considered to have various pharmacological effects.In traditional Chinese medicine,ginseng is widely used to treat various diseases,such as fatigue,insomnia,ischemic heart disease,neurasthenia,and immune dysfunction.What is the effect of ginseng extract?This article will provide a detailed introduction to the pharmacological effects of ginseng extract.
1.Enhance immunity
Ginseng extract contains various immune modulators,such as ginsenosides Rg1 and Rb1,which are believed to activate the immune system and enhance the body’s immune system.Research has shown that ginseng extract can increase the number of spleen and lymph node cells in mice,and promote the secretion of cytokines such as interferon and interleukin by immune cells,thereby enhancing immune function.
2.Anti fatigue effect
Ginseng extract can increase the body’s oxygen utilization rate and exercise endurance,thus having an anti fatigue effect.Experimental studies have shown that ginseng extract can prolong swimming time,enhance exercise ability,and reduce peak lactate concentration in mice.
3.Regulating blood sugar and blood lipids
Ginsenoside Rg3,Rb1 and other components in ginseng extract can reduce blood sugar and blood lipid,thus preventing and treating diabetes,hyperlipidemia and other diseases.The experimental results showed that taking ginseng extract orally could reduce blood sugar and blood lipid in diabetes mice,and increase insulin sensitivity.
4.Protection of cardiovascular system
Ginseng extract can dilate blood vessels and increase coronary arterial blood blood flow,thus protecting cardiovascular function.Research has shown that ginseng extract can reduce blood pressure,heart rate,and blood viscosity,reduce myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury,and reduce the area of myocardial infarction.
5.Improve cognitive ability
The ginsenosides Rg1,Rb1 and other components in ginseng extract can promote the synthesis and release of amino acid neurotransmitters by neurons,thereby improving learning and memory abilities.Research has shown that oral administration of ginseng extract can increase the learning and memory abilities of mice,as well as increase the number of neurons.
