Twelve hyperlipidemic patients taking ginseng extract 1.0 gm daily were studied for sequential changes in blood lipid levels for 16 weeks. Following results were observed. 1. HDL-C was markedly elevated from the beginning through test period while TG is conversely decreased. 2. TC and LDL-C revealed the tendency to decrease but not significant in degree. 3. No remarkable untoward reaction was observed with long term ginseng extract administration. In summary, the beneficial effect of ginseng extract on abnormal blood lipids level is unequivocal and the author recommend the use of ginseng extract to patient being on the verge of atherosclerosis.
