Does fermented red ginseng improve lipid profiles and protect against liver injury in rats on a high-fat diet?
p-value: p=<0.05
Fermented red ginseng improves lipid profiles and provides hepatoprotection against oxidative stress in a rat model of high-fat diet-induced hyperlipidemia.
Kim et al. (2016) studied High-fat diet-induced hyperlipidemia (n=28). Fermented red ginseng vs. High-fat diet control was evaluated on Serum total cholesterol (p=<0.05). Fermented red ginseng significantly reduced serum total cholesterol by up to 57.3% and triglycerides by 82.4% compared to a high-fat diet control in rats.
