Panax notoginseng oligosaccharides reversed replicative senescence in human dermal fibroblasts — lowering SA-β-gal, p16 and p21 and restoring proliferation and collagen synthesis — shown in laboratory study.
Notoginseng's activity lives in three of its saponins, and in animal heart and nerve models those constituents raise SIRT1.
Cultured cells given notoginseng show the p53 alarm sounding, division pausing at its checkpoint, the growth relay quieting, the clean-up crew clearing damaged parts, and the oxidative balance shifting.
In sleep-deprived mice, saponins from notoginseng stem and leaf improved spatial learning and memory in the water maze.
Sanchi root's saponins guard the fine vessels of the retina, keeping their walls sealed against leakage so the eye's picture stays clear.
Ginsenoside Rg1 cut thrombin-driven human platelet aggregation and reduced arterial thrombus in vivo.
