인삼의 에탄올 추출물(WGpet-alc)은 사람 혈청 속에 있는 글루탐산-옥살초산 트란스아마나아제(GOT) 및 글루탐산-피루브산 트란스아미나아제(GPT)의 활성을 증가시키는 효과를 가졌으며, 이러한 효과는 WGpet-alc의 농도가 0.50% 일때 가장 현저하였고, 농도가 이보다 클 때는 도리어 감소되었다. 이와는 반대로, GOT 및 GPT의 활성은 인삼의 석유에테르 추출물 (WGpet)에 의해 크게 감소된다는 것이 확인되었다.
Ethanol extract of Ginseng(WGpet-alc) was observed to increase the activities of human serum GOT and GPT in vitro and it was found that both enzymes showed the maximum activity when the concentration of WGpet-alc was 0.5% and the enzyme activity was decreased as the concentration of WGpet-alc rised over 0.5%. It was also observed that petroleum ether extract of Ginseng (WGpet) showed even at very low concentration an inhibitory effect on both enzymes.
