Effect of Korean Red Ginseng extract (RGE) on viable Helicobacter pylori colonization in stomach and stomach weight of Mongolian gerbils. (A) Viable cell numbers of H. pylori are determined and expressed as colony forming units (CFU)/g tissue. (B) Stomach weight to body weight ratio at the end of the experiment. None, animals without H. pylori infection that were fed the control diet; H. pylori control, animals with H. pylori infection that were fed the control diet; and H. pylori + RGE, animals with H. pylori infection that were fed a diet supplemented with RGE. *p < 0.05 versus none. **p < 0.05 versus H. pylori control.
