In this study, researchers from Jeju National University in South Korea continued their previous study on the therapeutic capacity of an acidic polysaccharide of Panax ginseng (APG) using a murine model of relapsing-remitting experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (rr-EAE). The results of their study were published in The American Journal of Chinese Medicine.
Based on their findings, the researchers concluded that APG can serve as a new therapeutic agent for MS and other human autoimmune diseases, and it should be further evaluated for its therapeutic application.
