摘要

We investigated the effects of three ginsenoside mixtures [total ginsenosides, panaxadiol ginsenosides, panaxatriol ginsenosides and one monomer ginsenoside - ginsenoside-Re], on the growth of ginseng callus, the activity of antioxidant enzymes and the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) in ginseng callus. All ginsenosides inhibited the growth of ginseng callus. Application of total ginsenosides increased the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD) and catalase (CAT) in ginseng callus. With panaxadiol ginsenosides treatment, the SOD activity was less at lower concentrations than in control and was high at medium to high concentrations. POD activity was higher than control at low to medium concentrations and was lower at high concentrations. While CAT activity was lower at all concentrations than control. With panaxatriol ginsenosides treatment, SOD and POD activity was higher than control at low concentrations and was lower at medium to high concentrations. CAT activities were significantly higher than control. With ginsenoside-Re treatment, POD and CAT activities were significantly lower than control. All ginsenosides treatments increased the malondialdehyde (MDA) content.
