American ginseng inhibits vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation via suppressing Jak/Stat pathway

A growing body of evidence has revealed that regular use of ginseng is helpful in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases; however, the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Our results indicate, for the first time, that suppression of Jak/Stat signaling is likely to be a crucial common pathway for the ginseng-mediated vascular protective actions.134
