This study investigated the effects of chronic administration of red ginseng extract (RGE) and black ginseng extract (BGE) on memory impairment in aged (18-month-old) mice. RGE and BGE (200 mg/kg) were orally administered for 16 weeks. Aging induced DNA damage; however, RGE and BGE protected DNA from damage and allowed for DNA recovery in blood lymphocytes. Choline acetyltransferase, vesicular acetylcholine transporter, growth-associated protein 43, synaptosomal-associated protein 25, nerve growth factor, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor protein expression were significantly increased after treatment with RGE and BGE. These data suggest that chronic administration of red ginseng and black ginseng may decrease the cognitive deficits associated with normal aging.

In this study, we investigated the anti-fatigue effects of black ginseng ginsenosides using exercise performance tests, serum analyses, and gene expression profiling. No significant differences in dietary intake or body weight were observed between groups. The low-dose black ginseng (LBG) group showed no significant improvements in swimming and rotating rod tests.

Aim Of The Study: To study the changes in the chemical composition and medicinal effects of black ginseng during processing.
Materials And Methods: The contents of ginsenosides Rg1, Re, Rh1, Rb1, 20-(S)-Rg3, 20-(R)-Rg3, and Rg5 were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and the percentage of rare saponins was calculated. Furthermore, changes in the contents of reducing sugars and amino acids (i.

Di--butyl phthalate (DBP) is a phthalate-based material used as a plasticizer to soften polyvinyl chloride, and classified as an endocrine disruptor with antiandrogen effects. Exposure to DBP induces oxidative stress in rat testes, resulting in testicular toxicity. Black ginseng (BG) exhibits a higher antioxidant activity than white or red ginseng following repeated heat treatment and processing.

Article Synopsis
- - The study explores how the combination of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) affects ginseng growth and the accumulation of important nutrients and secondary metabolites like ginsenosides.
- - Co-inoculation of AMF and PSB boosts growth by increasing biomass, nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) levels in ginseng, while also improving the overall balance of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus (C:N:P) in the plant.
- - The research indicates that this co-inoculation not only enhances nutrient absorption and modifies ginsenoside compositional profiles but also fosters a unique set of microorganisms in the rhizosphere, distinguishing it from single
