Abstract excerpt
Ginseng extracts show cognition-enhancing effects in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. However, little is known about the active components and molecular mechanisms of how ginseng exerts its effects. Recently, we isolated a novel lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) receptor-activating ligand from ginseng, gintonin. AD is caused by amyloid-β protein (Aβ) accumulation. Aβ is derived from amyloid-β protein precursors...
