Abstract
Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer, the root of an Araliaceae plant has been shown to possess various biological effects. Ginseng treatment (100 mg kg-1) protected muscles from eccentric exercise injuries. It was effective in preserving mitochondrial membrane integrity and reduced nitrate concentration in vastus and rectus (46% and 26%, respectively). It also reduced carbonyl contents by approximately 27% in all the muscles studied.
