Avan os no Estudo da Atividade Ansiolítica do Panax ginseng C. A. MeyerAbstract: To focus on the current evidence on the anxiolytic activity of Panax ginseng C.A Meyer. Recent studies showed the anxiolytic effects of the constituents of the roots of this species. Triterpenoid saponins of ginseng known as ginsenosides, are the active chemical components of the roots of this plant likely related to its anxiolytic activity. The interaction of these components with ligands of GABA receptor, increasing its affinity for the receptor, decreased production of mRNA catabolic enzyme (Abat) and this inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA transporter (GAT1) are related events so far to the anxiolytic effect of ginseng.Both the white ginseng and red ginseng have anxiolytic properties.
