ABSTRACT
Epidemiological studies showed that the metabolic syndromes (MetS) and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are responsible for a serious threat to human health worldwide. MetS is a syndromes characterized by fat metabolism disorder, obesity, diabetes, insulin resistance and other risk factors, which increases the risk of CVDs initiation and development. Although certain drugs play a role in lowering blood sugar and lipid, some side effects also occur. Considering the multiple pathogenesis, a great deal of natural products have been attempted to treat metabolic syndromes. Ginsenosides, as the active components isolated from Panax ginseng C.A.Mey, have been reported to have therapeutic effects on MetS and CVDs, of which pharmacological mechanisms were further studied as well. This review aims to systematically summarize current pharmacological effects of ginsenosides on MetS and CVDs, potential mechanisms and clinic trials, which will greatly contribute to the development of potential agents for related disease treatment.
