panax ginseng/sarcoma

The aim of the present study was to investigate any sensitization effect of the Panax notoginseng extract (PNE) and the purified Saponin (Rb1) on the radiation response of an experimental tumor (KHT sarcoma) in mice, in comparison with any effects on a normal tissue (bone marrow). PNE at a

OBJECTIVE To explore the relationship of up-regulated genes with cell proliferation and differentiation by analyzing the hematopoietic cells gene expression profile induced by panax notoginosides (PNS) using cDNA microarray. METHODS The cDNA membrane microarray with 480 target genes related to

Red ginseng extract A and B are the active components of Panax ginseng. Red ginseng is a classical traditional Chinese medicine. Among Chinese herbs, red ginseng has been considered as one of the tonics. Many studies indicated that red ginseng could enhance immune function of the human body. The

A neutral polysaccharide fraction (WGPN) prepared from Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer by hot water extraction and DEAE-cellulose chromatography was tested for its anticancer activity alone and in combination with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in Sarcoma-180 (S180) tumor-bearing mice by intragastric

We have recently reported that red ginseng acidic polysaccharide (RGAP), isolated from Korean red ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer), shows immunomodulatory and antitumor activities, mainly mediated by the nitric oxide (NO) production of macrophages. This compound may be used in cancer therapy alone

OBJECTIVE Because red ginseng and vitamin C have immunomodulatory function and anti-viral effect, we investigated whether red ginseng and vitamin C synergistically regulate immune cell function and suppress viral infection. METHODS Red ginseng and vitamin C were treated to human peripheral blood
