This study presents a preliminary exploration into the effect of Korean Red Ginseng (KRG) on the cerebellum in individuals with cerebellar atrophy. Over a three month-long period, nine subjects received a 4.5g of KRG daily, with assessments including the ARS, ADAS-Cog, and FDG-PET/CT scans. Results revealed a notable improvement in ataxia and cognitive function without a significant correlation between them. PET/CT scans and SUVR analyses supported these findings, showing an increase in cerebellar glucose uptake after KRG intake. These outcomes suggest a potential pleiotropic effect of KRG on cerebellar function.
本研究初步探讨了高丽参（KRG）对小脑萎缩个体小脑的影响。在为期三个月的时间里，九名受试者每天服用4.5克高丽参，并进行包括ARS、ADAS-Cog和FDG-PET/CT扫描在内的评估。结果显示共济失调和认知功能有显著改善，但两者之间无显著相关性。PET/CT扫描和SUVR分析支持了这些发现，表明服用高丽参后小脑葡萄糖摄取增加。这些结果提示高丽参对小脑功能可能具有多效性作用。
