Implication

Experiment shows improved immune responses and altered metabolic profiles in rats fed red ginseng extract, highlighting its potential health benefits.

Key Points

The research aims to understand the impact of red ginseng extract on metabolite profiles and immune responses in healthy rats.
Rats divided into control, low-dose (100 mg/kg), and high-dose (200 mg/kg) red ginseng extract groups.
Blood, liver, kidney, and intestinal metabolite profiles analyzed after five weeks.
Gut microbiota and splenocyte IL-12 secretion assessed post-treatment with carbohydrate fractions.
RGE intake decreased plasma triglycerides and liver function biomarkers.
Altered metabolite profiles observed in plasma, liver, kidney, and intestinal contents.
RGE increased Lachnospiraceae and enhanced IL-12 production in splenocytes.
