OBESITY RESEARCH SOLUTIONSNotoginsenoside R1 is a saponin that has been found in P. notoginseng and has diverse biological activities, including cardioprotective, neuroprotective, and anti-inflammatory properties.1 It decreases serum total cholesterol, triacylglycerol, and oxidized LDL (oxLDL) levels, as well as reduces atherosclerotic lesion area and lipid deposition in the aortic root of ApoE-/- mice fed a Western diet when administered at a dose of 25 mg/kg per day for eight weeks.2 Notoginsenoside R1 (100 mg/kg) inhibits apoptosis of hippocampal neurons and reduces infarct size in a rat model of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury induced by bilateral common carotid artery occlusion.3 It decreases colonic NF-ĸB and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activities and TNF-α and IL-6 levels, as well as reduces colonic shortening, tissue damage, and inflammatory cell infiltration in a mouse model of colitis induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS; Item No. 23250) when administered at a dose of 25 mg/kg per day for seven days.4
