Effect of Korean Red Ginseng extract (RGE) on Helicobacter pylori-induced increases in myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity and lipid peroxide (LPO) level in gastric mucosal tissues of Mongolian gerbils. (A) The MPO activity in the gastric mucosal tissues is expressed as units/mg protein. (B) LPO levels were measured as thiobarbituric acid reactive substances and are expressed as pg/mg protein. 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.
