Ginseng Is Useful to Enhance Cardiac Contractility in Animals

Figure 1

Effects of ginseng on PPARδ expression and TnI phosphorylation in heart of rats. Changes of PPARδ expression (a) and TnI phosphorylation (b) in the hearts of rats treated with ginseng. Rats were treated with ginseng (400 mg/kg) for 7 days and hearts were then used to measure the protein level of PPARδ expression and TnI phosphorylation using Western blotting analysis. All values are presented as mean ± SEM (𝑛=8). ^∗∗𝑃<0.01 and ^∗∗∗𝑃<0.001 compared with normal rats.
