Ginsenosides Rb2, Rc and Rg1 suppressed corticotropin-induced, dibutyryl cyclic AMP-induced and epinephrine-induced lipolysis with the relative potencies Rb2 greater than Rc greater than Rg1. The inhibition of corticotropin-induced lipolysis by ginsenoside Rg1 could not be overcome by increasing the dose

We have found that ginsenoside Rc and Re induce c-fos in MCF-7 human breast carcinoma cells at both the mRNA and protein levels. However, neither ginsenoside activated the expression of reporter gene under the control of AP-1/TPA response elements. We

A method based on high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and negative ion electrospray mass spectrometry (LC-MS) has been used to determine ginsenosides Rb1, Rc, and Re in six different samples of ginseng. These included a liquid extract, capsules, tea bags, and

This study focused on the cloning, expression and characterization of recombinant α-l-arabinosidases from Bifidobacterium longum H-1. α-l-Arabinofuranosidase (AfuB-H1) and bifunctional α-l-arabinopyranosidase/β-d-galactosidase (Apy-H1) from B. longum H-1 were identified by Southern blotting, and their recombinant enzymes were overexpressed in Escherichia coli

To evaluate effects of extrusion process variables on ginsenosides in wheat-ginseng extrudates, a wheat flour-ginseng powder blend (10% ginseng powder, w/w) was extruded in a twin-screw extruder with full factorial combinations of feed moisture (25, 30, and 35%), screw speed
