Research progress on the regulation of neurotransmitter metabolism by ginseng

Ginseng is a traditional Chinese medicine with tonic effects, and its main chemical components include ginsenosides and polysaccharides. Studies have found that ginseng can affect blood circulation in the brain, improve cardiovascular function, and promote the exchange of substances between nerve cells and the internal environment, which may be achieved through the regulation of neurotransmitter metabolism by ginsenosides. Ginsenosides have a regulatory effect on neurotransmitters such as ACh, Glu, 5-HT, etc., while the metabolic process of ginseng also involves the gut and intestinal flora. Ginseng has a certain impact on the metabolic environment of the brain, and its mechanism of action needs to be analyzed in combination with drug metabolism and its overall regulatory effect.
