title: The effect of ginsenoside-Rb2 on nitrogen balance.
abstract: In diabetic rats given ginsenoside-Rb2 for 6 days, nitrogen balance was studied. Ginsenoside-Rb2 was found to suppress the total urinary excretion of nitrogen, increase nitrogen retention in the body, and thereby improve nitrogen balance.
