Ginsenosides, which are active compounds found in ginseng (Panax ginseng), are used as antidiabetic treatments. The aim of this study was to determine whether Rb2, a type of ginsenoside, regulates hepatic gluconeogenesis through AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and the orphan nuclear receptor small heterodimer partner (SHP) in hyperlipidemic conditions used as an in vitro model of type 2 diabetes. Considering these results, we concluded that Rb2 may inhibit palmitate-induced gluconeogenesis via AMPK-induced SHP by relieving ER stress, a cause of gluconeogenesis.

Article Synopsis
  • Ginsenosides, found in Panax ginseng, are known for various therapeutic effects, but their poor absorption due to low water solubility and other factors limits their effectiveness.
  • The study explored extraction methods and innovative delivery systems like liposomes and nanoparticles to enhance the bioavailability of ginsenosides.
  • Although these micro/nanoscale delivery techniques show promise, challenges in their clinical application remain, indicating the need for further research.

Fermented red ginseng (FRG) enhances the bioactivity and bioavailability of ginsenosides, which possess various immunomodulatory, antiaging, anti-obesity, and antidiabetic properties. However, the effects of FRG extract on muscle atrophy and the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the effects of FRG extract on muscle atrophy using both and models.

In our study, a method based on affinity ultrafiltration screening coupled with UPLC-ESI-Orbitrap-MS technology was established to select Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists from natural products, and as an example, the GLP-1R agonists from was selected using our established method. As a result, total five GLP-1R agonists were selected from for the first time. Our results indicated that activating GLP-1R to promote insulin secretion probably was another important hypoglycemia mechanism for ginsenosides in , which had great influence on the study of the anti-diabetes effect of ginsenosides.
