Abstract

The dark adaptation processes of the eight normal persons were investigated after ingestion of 700mg of Korean Ginseng extract. The decrease of the thresholds was found particulary during the early phase of dark adaptation in six cases, and in the remaining two cases, these effects were doubtful. The significance of these results in terms of the neural mechanism of the dark adaptation is discussed.
