Abstract
Gut microbiota, a complex community of microorganisms residing in the gastrointestinal tract, has been implicated in the overall health and disease states of the host organism. Among various bioactive compounds, ginsenoside Rk3, a component of the medicinal plant Panax ginseng, has emerged as a potential modulator of gut microbial composition. This abstract aimed to highlight the impact of ginsenoside Rk3 on gut microbiota, uncovering its effects on microbial diversity, abundance, and functionality. By investigating the specific changes induced by ginsenoside Rk3 within the gut microbial ecosystem, the study illuminates its potential therapeutic roles, thereby expanding the understanding of host–microbiome interactions and their significance in health and disease.
期刊介绍:
The FASEB Journal publishes international, transdisciplinary research covering all fields of biology at every level of organization: atomic, molecular, cell, tissue, organ, organismic and population. While the journal strives to include research that cuts across the biological sciences, it also considers submissions that lie within one field, but may have implications for other fields as well. The journal seeks to publish basic and translational research, but also welcomes reports of pre-clinical and early clinical research. In addition to research, review, and hypothesis submissions, The FASEB Journal also seeks perspectives, commentaries, book reviews, and similar content related to the life sciences in its Up Front section.
