Abstract
Covering: 2011 to the end of 2020Panax species (Araliaceae), particularly P. ginseng, P. quinquefolius, and P. notoginseng, have a long history of medicinal use because of their remarkable tonifying effects, and currently serve as crucial sources for various healthcare products, functional foods, and cosmetics, aside from their vast clinical preparations. The huge market demand on a global scale prompts the continuous prosperity in ginseng research concerning the discovery of new compounds, precise quality control, ADME (absorption/disposition/metabolism/excretion), and biosynthesis pathways. Benefitting from the ongoing rapid development of analytical technologies, e.g. multi-dimensional chromatography (MDC), personalized mass spectrometry (MS) scan strategies, and multi-omics, highly recognized progress has been made in driving ginseng analysis towards "systematicness, integrity, personalization, and intelligentization". Herein, we review the advances in the phytochemistry, quality control, metabolism, and biosynthesis pathway of ginseng over the past decade (2011-2020), with 410 citations. Emphasis is placed on the introduction of new compounds isolated (saponins and polysaccharides), and the emerging novel analytical technologies and analytical strategies that favor ginseng's authentic use and global consumption. Perspectives on the challenges and future trends in ginseng analysis are also presented.

Kim GW, Pyo MK, Chung SH. Pectin lyase-modified red ginseng extract improves glucose homeostasis in high fat diet-fed mice. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2020; 249:112384. [PMID: 31733309 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2019.112384] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2019] [Revised: 10/31/2019] [Accepted: 11/10/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Red ginseng has long been used as a traditional folk medicine for various diseases including diabetes. Recently, a preparation of red ginseng extract by pectin lyase modification has been developed and named as GS-E3D. AIM OF THE STUDY The aim of this study is to evaluate the preventive effect of GS-E3D on hyperglycemia induced by feeding a high fat diet (HFD) in mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS GS-E3D was orally administered to C57BL/6J mice at different doses (250, 500, or 1000 mg/kg/day) for 6 weeks while on a HFD. Body weight and blood glucose were monitored weekly, and oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed at 5th week of the experiment. Glycemic indications and metabolic parameters were further measured in serum. RESULTS Six weeks of GS-E3D treatment to mice significantly inhibited HFD-induced body weight gain, hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia and hypertriglyceridemia. Notably, GS-E3D treated mice at doses of 250, 500 and 1000 mg/kg showed 41.8%, 45.0% and 55.1% reduction in insulin resistance index, respectively, compared to HFD control mice. OGTT revealed that GS-E3D markedly prevented steep rise of blood glucose and insulin levels after glucose challenge and ameliorated HFD-induced glucose and insulin intolerance. The histological analysis showed enlarged adipocytes in HFD-fed mice whereas the adipocyte hypertrophy was prevented in GS-E3D treated mice in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, when peripheral glucose uptake level was assessed by total and membranous glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4) protein contents, GS-E3D restored GLUT4 protein expression to the levels of regular diet fed mice, and dose-dependently translocated them to the plasma membrane. CONCLUSION The results collectively show that GS-E3D ameliorates obesity-related impaired glucose tolerance by improving insulin sensitivity in the epidydimal adipose tissue.

JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2015; 95:2409-2415. [PMID: 25323802 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.6961] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2014] [Revised: 10/10/2014] [Accepted: 10/13/2014] [Indexed: 06/04/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Red ginseng is produced by steaming and drying fresh ginseng. Through this processing, chemical compounds are modified, and then biological activities are changed. In the food-processing industry, high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) has become an alternative to heat processing to make maximum use of bioactive compounds in food materials. This study comparatively investigated the anti-adipogenic effects of water extract of red ginseng (WRG) and high hydrostatic pressure extract of fresh ginseng (HPG) in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. RESULTS Both WRG and HPG inhibited the accumulation of intracellular lipids and triglycerides, and the activity of glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH), a key enzyme in triglyceride biosynthesis. Intracellular lipid content and GPDH activity were significantly lower in the HPG group compared to the WRG group. In addition, mRNA expression of adipogenic genes, including CEBP-α, SREBP-1c and aP2, were lower in HPG-treated cells compared to WRG-treated cells. HPG significantly increased the activity of AMPK, and WRG did not. CONCLUSION Results suggested that HPG may have superior beneficial effects on the inhibition of adipogenesis compared with WRG. The anti-adipogenic effects of HPG were partially associated with the inhibition of GPDH activity, suppression of adipogenic gene expression and activation of AMPK in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.

Effects of pectin lyase-modified red ginseng extracts in high-fat diet-fed obese mice. Lab Anim Res 2014; 30:151-60. [PMID: 25628725 PMCID: PMC4306702 DOI: 10.5625/lar.2014.30.4.151] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2014] [Revised: 09/16/2014] [Accepted: 09/26/2014] [Indexed: 12/01/2022] Open
Abstract
Red ginseng and its extracts have been used as traditional medicines and functional foods in countries worldwide. The aim of this study was to examine the bioavailability of pectin lyase-modified red ginseng extracts (GS-E3D), and the effects of GS-E3D on adipogenesis of 3T3-L1 adipocytes, as well as on metabolic disorders such as hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, and fatty liver in high-fat diet fed obese C57BL/6 mice. Mice were divided into 5 groups: normal diet group, high fat diet-vehicle group, high fat diet + 0.1 g/kg GS-E3D (0.1-GS-E3D), high fat diet + 0.3 g/kg (0.3-GS-E3D), high fat diet + 1.0 g/kg (1.0-GS-E3D). Treatment of GS-E3D reduced differentiation of 3T3-L1 adipocytes with low cytotoxicity. In the animal model, compared to the high fat diet control, serum glucose, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, TG, and leptin level were reduced in treatment animals in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, we found that GS-E3D could decrease total hepatic lipid droplets. These results suggest that GS-E3D, as a dietary supplement, has beneficial effects on obesity and may have useful effects in health-care products.
