Pharmacology
Ginseng¿¡ ´ëÇÑ Pharmacology Á¤º¸ Not Available Ethanol¿¡ ´ëÇÑ Pharmacology Á¤º¸ Alcohol produces injury to cells by dehydration and precipitation of the cytoplasm or protoplasm. This accounts for its bacteriocidal and antifungal action. When alcohol is injected in close proximity to nerve tissues, it produces neuritis and nerve degeneration (neurolysis). Ninety to 98% of ethanol that enters the body is completely oxidized. Ethanol is also used as a cosolvent to dissolve many insoluble drugs and to serve as a mild sedative in some medicinal formulations. Zinc¿¡ ´ëÇÑ Pharmacology Á¤º¸ Not Available
