The present study also showed that cTn-I was reduced significantly with P. ginseng pretreatment, coinciding with a previous experimental study (Al Shamsi et al., 2006), which showed that the active ingredient of the P. ginseng extract, ginsenoside-Rg1, enhanced angiogenesis and reduced ventricular remodeling in a rat model of myocardial infarction. The gene discussed is TNNI3; the disease is myocardial infarction.
