Abstract

The effect of ginsenosides on the adenylate cyclase and guanylate cyclase of rat brain has been studied. We have found that Rbl, Rc and one unknown ginsenoside (probably Ra) exerted reciprocal effects on adenylate cyclase and guanylate cyclase. This dual effect of ginsenosides leads us to speculate that some ginsenosides may act as regulatory agents and modulate the activities of these two enzyme systems.
