7. KOREAN PANAX RED GINSENG IMPROVES ENDOTHELIAL DYSFUNCTION AND ARTERIAL STIFFNESS IN PATIENTS WITH CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE PROBABLY BY DECREASING RHO-ASSOCIATED KINASE ACTIVITY OF PERIPHERAL BLOOD MONONUCLEAR CELLS

Background: Korean Panax Red Ginseng (KPRG) is known to enhance endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation by activating eNOS. Activation of Rho-associated kinase (ROCK) is implicated in endothelial dysfunction in part through destabilization of eNOS mRNA. This study, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-c...
