Anti-diabetic effects of wild Korean ginseng extracts on multiple low-dose streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats were investigated. Rats were administered extracts at rates of 100, 200, and 300 mg/kg of body weight for 8 weeks. Body weight was significantly (p<0.05) lower in ginseng untreated diabetic rats than in ginseng treated rats in spite of significantly (p<0.05) higher food and water intake than for ginseng treated rats. Blood glucose levels were significantly (p<0.05) higher but plasma insulin levels were significantly (p<0.05) lower in 200 and 300 mg/kg of body weight ginseng treated diabetic rats than in rats treated with 100 mg of ginseng and in untreated control rats. The plasma aspartate aminotransaminase level was not significantly (p>0.05) affected; however alanine aminotransaminase and alkaline phosphatase levels were reduced significantly (p<0.05) in higher ginseng dosage rat groups. Anti-diabetic effects were elicited by administration of wild Korean ginseng extracts in multiple low-dose STZ-induced diabetic rats.
