“…Numerous studies have suggested that ginsenosides protect cells by preventing oxidative damage, thereby preventing the occurrence and progression of diseases ( Kang et al, 2013 ; Ong et al, 2015 ). Possible mechanisms mentioned in previous studies include their ability to inhibit oxidative damage by inhibiting malondialdehyde (MDA) formation, reducing lipid peroxidation, and regulating the activity of antioxidant enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and other antioxidant factors ( Kim et al, 2004 ). In addition, it has also been suggested that modulation of oxidative stress-related oxidative signaling pathways, such as the Keap1/Nrf2/ARE, PI3K/Akt, and Wnt/β-catenin, and nuclear factor-k-gene binding (NF-κB) signaling pathways, is also an important way in which ginsenosides exert antioxidant damage ( Li et al, 2016 ; Chen et al, 2019 ; Hagar et al, 2019 ).…”
