A recent study also demonstrated that ginseng polysaccharide treatment significantly improved symptoms of DSS-induced ulcerative colitis in mice by enhancing the activity of antioxidant enzymes (SOD and CAT), reducing MDA levels, and suppressing pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 (40). The gene discussed is IL6; the disease is ulcerative colitis.
