Saturday Nov. 02, 2013 (foodconsumer.org) -- Ginseng extract may help restore vascular dysfunctions induced by high glucose or blood sugar found in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, according to a study in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine. Gabriel Hoi-huen Chan from Hong Kong Baptist University in Kowloon Tong, Kowloon, Hong Kong and colleagues conducted the study and found Panax ginseng extract restored diabetes induced impaired vasorelaxation and lowered blood fat or triglyceride, but not cholesterol levels in rats with diabetes. Ginseng extract was also found to suppress atherosclerosis related genes and change the expression of genes involved in lipid. (DL)
