Ginseng and Its Active Components Ginsenosides Inhibit Adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 Cells by Regulating MMP-2 and MMP-9

<table>Effects of GE and GSs on adipocyte differentiation in 3T3-L1 cells. 3T3-L1 preadipocytes were differentiated into mature adipocytes. 3T3-L1 cells were treated with MDI (control), MDI plus GE, TGSs, and individual GSs, including Rb1, Rb2, Rc, Rd, Re, Rf, Rg1, Rg2, and Rg3. At day 8 after induction, cells were fixed, and neutral lipids were stained with Oil Red O. ND: nondifferentiated; Con: differentiated control; GE: ginseng extract; TGSs: total ginsenosides.</table>
