代谢综合征(MS)是指以下至少三种医疗状况的聚集:高血压,腹部肥胖,高血糖症,高密度脂蛋白水平低,和高血清甘油三酯。MS与多种疾病有关,包括肥胖,糖尿病,胰岛素抵抗,心血管疾病,血脂异常,或非酒精性脂肪性肝病。仍然需要改善MS的治疗策略。最重要的危险因素是饮食模式,遗传学,老年,缺乏锻炼,被破坏的生物学,药物使用,过度饮酒,但MS的病理生理学尚未完全确定。韩国红参(KRG)是指蒸/干人参,传统上与有益效果相关,如抗炎,抗疲劳,抗肥胖,抗氧化剂,和抗癌作用。KRG在传统医学中经常被用于治疗多种代谢疾病。本文综述了KRG在MS及肥胖等相关疾病中的作用。心血管疾病,胰岛素抵抗,糖尿病,血脂异常,基于实验研究和临床研究的非酒精性脂肪性肝病。
Metabolic syndrome (MS) refers to a clustering of at least three of the following medical conditions: high blood pressure, abdominal obesity, hyperglycemia, low high-density lipoprotein level, and high serum triglycerides. MS is related to a wide range of diseases which includes obesity, diabetes, insulin resistance, cardiovascular disease, dyslipidemia, or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. There remains an ongoing need for improved treatment strategies for MS. The most important risk factors are dietary pattern, genetics, old age, lack of exercise, disrupted biology, medication usage, and excessive alcohol consumption, but pathophysiology of MS has not been completely identified. Korean Red Ginseng (KRG) refers to steamed/dried ginseng, traditionally associated with beneficial effects such as anti-inflammation, anti-fatigue, anti-obesity, anti-oxidant, and anti-cancer effects. KRG has been often used in traditional medicine to treat multiple metabolic conditions. This paper summarizes the effects of KRG in MS and related diseases such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance, diabetes, dyslipidemia, or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease based on experimental research and clinical studies.
