Fig. 1. Diagram for an edible gintonin (E-GT) preparation from Panax ginseng root. (A) A complete diagram for crude gintonin preparation from ginseng root. (B) The representative Ca2+-activated Cl- channel (CaCC) current traces are representative of one obtained from each preparation step. Treatment with ethanol extraction (EtOH ext) and the bound component obtained after elution with NaCl in Tris-HCl (pH 8.2) induced endogenous CaCC activation in Xenopus oocytes, whereas unbound component had no effect. The amount of each fraction used to test CaCC activity was 1 or 100 μg/mL. Inward currents were recorded at –80 mV holding potential. Image published in: Choi SH et al.
