“…Red Ginseng (RG) is a well-known herbal medicine with anticancer, antiallergy, anti-inflammatory and anti-fatigue effects. [21][22][23] A recent clinical study confirmed its protective effect on acute respiratory tract infections, 24) and oral administration of RG extract prior to influenza A virus infection was shown to increase survival in a mouse model. 25) Not only dietary RG extract but also components of the extract such as polysaccharides and saponin have been reported to increase protection against influenza A virus infection.…”

Human respiratory syncytial virus (hRSV) is the most common cause of bronchiolitis and pneumonia in infants. The lack of proper prophylactics and therapeutics for controlling hRSV infection has been of great concern worldwide. Xylitol is a well-known sugar substitute and its effect against bacteria in the oral cavity is well known. However, little is known of its effect on viral infections. In this study, the effect of dietary xylitol on hRSV infection was investigated in a mouse model for the first time. Mice received xylitol for 14 d prior to virus challenge and for a further 3 d post challenge. Significantly larger reductions in lung virus titers were observed in the mice receiving xylitol than in the controls receiving phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). In addition, fewer CD3 and CD3 CD8 lymphocytes, whose numbers reflect inflammatory status, were recruited in the mice receiving xylitol. These results indicate that dietary xylitol can ameliorate hRSV infections and reduce inflammation-associated immune responses to hRSV infection.

“…One of its major constituents is ginsenoside, which harbors wide range of biological activity involved in anti-inflammatory and antiallergic effects, endothelium-independent aorta relaxation, wound healing, and antitumor effects (Wu et al, 1992;Wakabayashi et al, 1997;Kim et al, 1999;Bae et al, 2002Bae et al, , 2009Sumiyoshi et al, 2010). Tahikawa et al reported that ginsenoside Rg3 suppressed histamine release from mast cells by compound 48/80 in vitro (Ro et al, 1998;Tachikawa et al, 1999).…”

“…Ginseng contains saponin, ginsenosides, essential oils, polyacetylenic alcohol, peptides, vitamins, and polysaccharides (Cheung et al, 2007; Kang et al, 2007; Jin et al, 2008; Wee et al, 2011). Various beneficial pharmacological effects of ginseng or its components have been reported, including anti-cancer, anti-allergy, anti-inflammatory, anti-fatigue, anti-stress, and immunomodulatory activities (Kim et al, 2002; Park et al, 2004; Sumiyoshi et al, 2010; Lee and Cho, 2011). Red ginseng is produced by steaming fresh ginseng at 95°C to 100°C for a reasonable time (Kim et al, 2009).…”

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of dietary supplementation of red ginseng by-product (RGB) on the laying performance, blood biochemistry, and microbial population in laying hens. A total of 120 Hy-Line Brown laying hens (75 weeks old) were randomly allotted to 1 of 3 dietary treatments with 4 replicates per treatment. A commercial-type basal diet was prepared, and 2 additional diets were prepared by supplementing 5.0 or 10.0 g/kg of RGB to the basal diet at the expense of corn. The diets were fed to hens on an ad libitum basis for 4 weeks. There were no differences in feed intake, egg weight, and feed conversion ratio during 4 weeks of the feeding trial. However, hen-day egg production was significantly greater (p<0.05) for the RGB treatment groups than that for the basal treatment group. There were no differences in triglyceride, aspartate aminotransferase, and alanine aminotransferase during the 4-week feeding trial. However, RGB supplementation increased (p<0.05) the serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgM content compared with basal treatment group. The total cholesterol was lower (p<0.05) in the RGB treatments groups than that in the basal treatment group. The intestinal Lactobacillus population was greater (p<0.05) for the RGB treatments groups than that for the basal treatment group. However, the numbers of Salmonella and Escherichia coli were not different among dietary treatments. During the entire experiment, there was no significant difference in egg quality among all the treatments. In conclusion, in addition to improving hen-day production, there were positive effects of dietary RGB supplementation on serum immunoglobulin and cholesterol levels in laying hens.
