Anti-fatigue Effects of Ginseng and Its Processed Products

Objective:To observe the anti-fatigue effects of ginseng and its processed products.Method: One hydred and twenty mice were allocated randomly into ginseng,red ginseng and red ginseng processed by high pressure groups.Each treatment was divided into three subgroups by dosages(5,2.5,1.25 g·kg-1).Blank control group was treated with 0.9%NaCl.Drugs were administered to mice for 15 days,then fatigue-related biochemical indicators were analyzed.Result: Compared with the control group,the mice of ginseng group had a higher content of liver glycogen(11.33±3.45)g·kg-1(P0.01)and muscle glycogen(1.98±0.83)g·kg-1(P0.05),and lower content of blood urea nitrogen(BUN)(29.71±6.42)g·L-1(P0.05);the mice of red ginseng group had a higher content of liver glycogen(10.46±3.21)g·kg-1(P0.01),and lower content of BUN(29.45±5.06)g·L-1(P0.05);the mice of high pressure red ginseng group had a higher content of liver glycogen(9.87±2.44)g·kg-1(P0.01).Conclusion:All the three types of ginseng showed anti-fatigue effects.
