Blood biochemistry data and immune cell count changes for rats orally administered with Korean Red Ginseng (KRG). (a) Biochemical parameters of liver functions (aspartate transaminase (AST, U/L), alanine aminotransferase (ALT, U/L), and Alkaline phosphatase (ALP, U/L)); lipid parameters (total cholesterol (CHO, mg/dL), triglyceride (TG, mg/dL); the parameters of kidney functions (blood urea nitrogen (BUN, mg/dL), creatinine (CREA, mg/dL); and creatine phosphokinase (CPK, mg/dL) in KRG administered male and female rats. Results are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 8). (b) Changes in immune cell count for 12 mo KRG administration, showing splenic and thymic immune cell counts. Significant difference vs. control *(p < 0.05), **(p < 0.01)
