Zusammenfassung:	Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer, the root of an Araliaceae plant has been shown to possess various biological effects. Ginseng treatment (100 mg kg –1) protected muscles from eccentric exercise injuries. It was effective in preserving mitochondrial membrane integrity and reduced nitrate concentration in vastus and rectus (46% and 26%, respectively). It also reduced carbonyl contents by approximately 27% in all the muscles studied.
