Ppt On Endangered Species' title='Ppt On Endangered Species' />American ginseng Wikipedia. American ginseng Panax quinquefolius, Panacis quinquefolis is a herbaceous perennial plant in the ivy family, commonly used as Chinese or herbal medicine. It is native to eastern North America, though it is also cultivated in places such as China. There is little evidence to support that American ginseng is effective against the common cold. All trials evaluating the efficacy were funded by the manufacturer and there has been poor data reporting. Health Canadas Natural Health Product Directorate states that it claims to help reduce the frequency, severity and duration of cold and flu symptoms by boosting the immune system. The plants root and leaves were traditionally used for medicinal purposes by Native Americans. Since the 1. 8th century, the roots have been collected by sang hunters and sold to Chinese or Hong Kong traders, who often pay very high prices for particularly old wild roots. It is also known by its Chinese name huaqishen simplified Chinese traditional Chinese pinyin huqshn Cantonese Yale fkism literally Flower Flag ginseng or xiyangshen simplified Chinese traditional Chinese pinyin xyngshn Cantonese Yale siyungsm literally west ocean ginseng. DescriptioneditThe aromatic root of American ginseng Panax quinquefolius resembles a small parsnip that forks as it matures. The plant grows 6 to 1. Medical useseditThere is no evidence that American ginseng is effective in those infected with the common cold. The effect of preventive use is not clear. When used preventively it makes no difference on the rate of infections. It also appears to have no effect on how severe the infections are. There is tentative evidence that it may lessen the length of sickness when used preventively. Adverse effectseditIndividuals requiring anti coagulant therapy such as warfarin should avoid use of American ginseng. Not recommended for individuals with impaired liver or renal function. It is not recommended in those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Other adverse effects include headaches, anxiety, trouble sleeping and an upset stomach. Recent studies have shown that through the many cultivated procedures that American ginseng is grown, fungal molds, pesticides, and various metals and residues have contaminated the crop. Though these contaminating effects are not considerably substantial, they do pose health concerns that could lead to neurological problems, intoxication, cardiovascular disease and cancer. However, the ginseng, wild or farmed, medically has the same effects in the body. ProductioneditAmerican ginseng was formerly particularly widespread in the Appalachian and Ozark regions and adjacent forested regions such as Pennsylvania, New York and Ontario, due to its popularity and unique habitat requirements, the wild plant has been overharvested, as well as lost through destruction of its habitat, and is thus rare in most parts of the United States and Canada. Ginseng is also negatively affected by deer browsing, urbanization, and habitat fragmentation. It can also be grown commercially, under artificial shade, woods cultivated, or wild simulated methods and is usually harvested after three to four years depending on cultivation technique the wild simulated method often requires up to 1. Ontario, Canada is the worlds largest producer of North American ginseng. Marathon County, Wisconsin, accounts for about 9. The largest singlestem tree by wood volume and mass is the giant sequoia Sequoiadendron giganteum, native to Sierra Nevada and California it grows to an average. American ginseng Panax quinquefolius, Panacis quinquefolis is a herbaceous perennial plant in the ivy family, commonly used as Chinese or herbal medicine. Less than 1 percent of the species that have emerged since the advent of life on our planet more than 3 billion years ago are still alive today. Game, puzzle, quiz.

Chemical componentseditLike Panax ginseng, American ginseng contains dammarane type ginsenosides, or saponins, as the major biologically active constituents. Dammarane type ginsenosides include two classifications 2. S protopanaxadiol PPD and 2. S protopanaxatriol PPT. American ginseng contains high levels of Rb. Rd PPD classification, and Re PPT classification ginsenosideshigher than that of P. PharmacokineticseditWhen taken orally, PPD type ginsenosides are mostly metabolized by intestinal bacteria anaerobes to PPD monoglucoside, 2. O beta D glucopyranosyl 2. S protopanaxadiol M1. In humans, M1 is detected in plasma from seven hours after intake of PPD type ginsenosides and in urine from 1. These findings indicate M1 is the final metabolite of PPD type ginsenosides. M1 is referred to in some articles as IH 9. K. 1. 6Society and cultureeditCold f. X is a product derived from the roots of North American ginseng Panax quinquefolius. The makers of Cold f. X, were criticized for making health claims about the product that have never been tested or verified scientifically. Up until February 2. Health Canadas review of the scientific literature confirmed that this is not a claim that the manufacturer is entitled to make. Distributionedit. Range map of American ginseng Panax quinquefolius. American Ginseng can be found in much of the eastern and central United States and in part of southeastern Canada. It is found primarily in deciduous forests of the Appalachian and Ozark regions of the United States. American ginseng is found in full shade environments in these deciduous forests underneath hardwoods. Due to this very specialized growing environment and its demand in the commercial market it has started to reach an endangered status in some areas. It can be found in the following states and provinces Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Ontario, Pennsylvania, Quebec, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. Endangered StatuseditAmerican Ginseng is not listed as an endangered species across the United States of America but it has been declared as a part of the endangered species scale by some states. States that recognize American Ginseng as endangered Maine, Rhode Island. Driver Volume Windows Xp Download. States that Recognize American Ginseng as Vulnerable New York, Pennsylvania.
