Effect of Amino Acids on the Generation of Ginsenoside Rg3 Epimers by Heat Processing and the Anticancer Activities of Epimers in A2780 Human Ovarian Cancer Cells

<div>Effects of<i> Panax ginseng</i> extract heat-processed with arginine and ginsenoside 20(S)-Rg3 on apoptosis in A2780 cells. Western blotting results showing the levels of cleaved caspase-3, cleaved caspase-8, cleaved caspase-9, BID, and PARP in A2780 cells treated with heat-processed<i> Panax ginseng</i> extract with arginine (500 <i>μ</i>g/mL) and ginsenoside 20(S)-Rg3 (12.5 <i>μ</i>g/mL) for 24 h. Thirty micrograms of each protein was separated by SDS-PAGE. GAPDH was used as an internal control.</div>
