Paper

Abstract

Mitochondrial function is essential for immune cell regulation, and its decline is linked to aging and chronic diseases. Impaired activity contributes to inflammation and reduced immunity. This study explores Red ginseng extract (RGE)'s potential in enhancing mitochondrial function and immune cell viability, offering benefits in mitigating immunosenescence.
