Biochem/physiol Actions

Ginsenoside Re is a phytosterol found in the ginseng root. Ginsenoside Re is believed to be the main contributor to ginseng′s protection against damage from cardiac ischemia by inhibiting calcium accumulation in the mitochondria. It has been shown that Ginsenoside Re inhibits calcium buildup through activation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) to release NO and activate delayed rectifier K+ currents.
Triterpene saponin found in ginseng.

Adventitious root branching is vital to plant growth and regeneration, but the regulation of this process remains unclear. We therefore investigated how ginsenosides regulate adventitious root branching in Panax ginseng. Cell proliferation and adventitious root branching were decreased in the
