Compared to the 6-year-old ginseng roots, ginseng sprouts were found to have a higher content of phenolic compounds, saponin and protopanaxadiol-type ginsenoside by about 56%, 36% and 43%, respectively. PGE was prepared using a macroporous adsorption resin, and compound K(CK) was converted and enriched from the PGE by enzymatic hydrolysis with a conversion rate of 75%. PGE showed higher effects than CKE on radical scavenging activity in antioxidant assays. On the other hand, CKE reduced nitric oxide levels more effectively than PGE in RAW 264.7 cells. CKE also reduced pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1, interleukin (IL)-1\u03b2 and IL-6 than PGE. Tail bleeding time and volume were investigated after administration of CKE at 70\u2013150 mg\/kg\/day to mice. CKE administered group showed a significant increase or increased tendency in bleeding time than the control group. Bleeding volume in the CKE group increased than the control group, but not as much as in the aspirin group. In conclusion, ginseng sprouts could be an efficient source of ginsenoside, and CKE converted from the ginsenosides showed antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antithrombotic effects. However, it was estimated that the CKE might play an essential role in anti-inflammatory effects rather than antioxidant effects.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules26134102","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,6]],"date-time":"2021-07-06T02:59:47Z","timestamp":1625540387000},"page":"4102","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":45,"title":["Antioxidant, Anti-Inflammatory and Antithrombotic Effects of Ginsenoside Compound K Enriched Extract Derived from Ginseng Sprouts"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"In-Hee","family":"Baik","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"R&D Center, Youngjin Bio Co., Suwon 16614, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kyung-Hee","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Food and Nutrition, Duksung Women\u2019s University, Seoul 01370, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4741-7455","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kyung-Ae","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Food and Nutrition, Anyang University, Anyang 14028, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"65","article-title":"Efficacy and safety of the standardised Ginseng extract G115\u00ae for potentiating vaccination against common cold and\/or influenza syndrome","volume":"22","author":"Scaglione","year":"1996","journal-title":"Drugs Exp.
