Ginsenoside Rg3 restores hepatitis C virus–induced aberrant mitochondrial dynamics and inhibits virus propagation

Abstract

G-Rg3 inhibits HCV propagation. Its antiviral mechanism involves restoring the HCV-induced dynamin-related protein 1-mediated aberrant mitochondrial fission process, thereby resulting in suppression of persistent HCV infection. (Hepatology 2017;66:758-771).
