However, Rg1 did not affect the fat storage in <em>fat-5/fat-6</em> double mutant or <em>nhr-49</em> mutant. Combined with network pharmacology, we clarified the possible pathways and targets of Rg1 in lipid metabolism. In addition, Rg1-treated <em>C. elegans</em> showed a higher expression of anti-oxidative genes and heat shock proteins, which might contribute to stress resistance</p></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>Rg1 reduced fat accumulation by regulating lipid metabolism via <em>nhr-49</em> and enhanced stress resistance by its antioxidant effect in <em>C. elegans</em>.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":16035,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ginseng Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/0c/7f/main.PMC10310868.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10122332","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
