[Effects of tissue cultured ginseng on the function of the stomach and small intestine].
Effects of tissue cultured ginseng on the function of the stomach and small intestine were compared with those of cultivated ginseng. Fifty percent ethanol extracts of the tissue cultured and cultivated ginseng stimulated gastrointestinal propulsion in mice. The tissue cultured ginseng also inhibited ulcer formation induced by water immersion and restraint stress, and ligature of the pylorus. In contrast, the cultivated ginseng showed no such inhibitory action.
