Protective Effects of Panax ginseng Extract on Endothelin-1- and Isoproterenol-Induced Cardiac Hypertrophy via Maintenance of Mitochondrial Function and Calcium-Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) Homeostasis
PG exhibits pharmacological cardioprotection associated with modulation of mitochondrial dynamics and attenuation of cellular stress responses. These findings support further investigation of PG as a mitochondria-engaging natural product with the potential to mitigate pathological cardiac remodeling and heart failure progression.
