Effect of Korean Red Ginseng Extract (RGE) on the compound 48/80-induced anaphylactic reaction
| RGE (mg/kg) 1) | Compound 48/80 (8 mg/kg) 2) | Mortality (%) 3) |
|---|---|---|
| None (saline) | + | 100 |
| 5 | + | 40* |
| 50 | + | 26.7* |
| 50 | - | 0 |
*p < 0.05; significantly different from saline group.
1)
The groups of mice (n = 5) were orally administrated with saline or Korean Red Ginseng extract (RGE) given at various doses 1 h before the compound 48/80 injection.
2)
The compound 48/80 solution was intraperitoneally injected to the groups of mice
3)
Mortality (%) within 1 h following compound 48/80 injection is presented as the “Number of dead mice × 100/total number of experimental mice”. This result was represented by average results from three independent experiments.
