Objective: To explore the neuroprotective effect of Ginsenoside Rg1 on focal cerebral ischemia-reper-fusion (FCIR) rats. Methods: Totally 72 rats were randomly divided into 6 groups: sham-operation group, control group, Nimodipine group (10.8 mg/kg), Ginsenoside Rg1 low dose group (10 mg/kg), Ginsenoside Rg1 medium dose group (20 mg/kg), and Ginsenoside Rg1 high dose group (40 mg/kg), with 12 rats in each group. The FCIR model was performed with the method of middle cerebral artery occlusion. The sham-operation and control groups were given normal saline, while other groups received correspond...
