ginsenoside/infarction

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of ginsenoside pre-treatment on serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT), 5-HT2A receptor (5-HT2AR), and 5-HT transporter (serotonin transporter, SERT) in serum, platelet lysate and brain tissue homogenates in SD rats with myocardial infarction (MI) or

Ginsenoside Re, an herbal ingredient from ginseng, has been demonstrated to protect the heart from various cardiovascular diseases. In the present study, we investigated the protective effects and mechanisms of ginsenoside Re (Gin-Re) on cardiac function and left ventricular remodeling in a rat

OBJECTIVE To observe whether ginsenoside Rg1 could reduce the infarcted area and improve the heart function by path of promoting bone marrow stem cells differentiated to vascular endothelial cells (VECs). METHODS Bone marrow was drawn from rabbit's ilium and labelled with red fluorochrome DiI, then

Ginsenoside-Rg1 (Rg1) has been used in the traditional Chinese medicine for over 2,000 years. The present study was performed to test our hypothesis that Rg1 provides pro-angiogenic and anti-fibrotic benefits in the ischemic myocardium in a rat model of myocardial infarction. The expression of

BACKGROUND Metabonomics is a useful tool for studying mechanisms of drug treatment using systematic metabolite profiles. Ginsenosides Rg1 and Rb1, ophiopogonin D, and schizandrin are the main bioactive components of a traditional Chinese formula (Sheng-Mai San) widely used for the treatment of

Oral administration of red ginseng powder before but not after transient forebrain ischemia prevents delayed neuronal death in gerbils. One neuroprotective molecule within red ginseng powder is ginsenoside Rb(1). The mechanism of action(s) of ginsenoside Rb(1) remains to be determined. We performed

Shexiang Baoxin pill(SBP) is widely used for treating coronary heart disease in clinic, with ginsenosides as its main effective component. This study was designed to investigate and compare the pharmacokinetic characteristics of five ginsenosides of five compounds after multiple oral

Ginsenoside Rb1 (GRb1), a major component of the traditional herb ginseng, has been reported to show a neuroprotective effect in a rodent ischemic model. The purpose of this study was to investigate effects of GRb1 on early and delayed brain injuries in a non-human primate thromboembolic stroke

BACKGROUND The herb pair of Salvia miltiorrhiza and Panax notoginseng has widely been used for improving coronary and cerebral circulation in China. However, the exact contribution of the major active components of S. miltiorrhiza and P. notoginseng to cardioprotection is far from clear. In the

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of ginsenoside Rb1 on cerebral infarction volume as well as IL-1 beta in the brain tissue and sera of focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury model rats. METHODS The I/R rat model was established by using thread according to Zea-Longa. SD rats were

BACKGROUND Ginsenoside Rb1, a major bioactive component of Panax ginseng, bears various beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system. This study investigated whether ginsenoside Rb1 preconditioning has protective effects on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury and its potential

With the popularization of percutaneous coronary intervention technology in clinical applications, the mortality rate of acute myocardial infarction has been significantly reduced. However, ventricular remodeling following myocardial infarction (MI) has attracted extensive attention for that it can

To examine the preventive and therapeutic effects of ginsenoside Rb1 for neural injury during cerebral infarction, we used a middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model in rats to investigate the effects of ginsenoside Rb1 with Edaravone as a control. Ginsenoside Rb1 was given to the rats by

Background: Panax ginseng is a well-known medicinal herb that is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine for treating various diseases. Ginsenoside Rg3 (Rg3) is thought to be one of the most important active ingredients of Panax ginseng. However, the molecular
