). 6-Shogaol-rich ginger extract
is shown to enhance antioxidant-defence mechanism (Bak, Ok, Jun,
& Jeong, 2012) and afford neuroprotection (Kim, Kim, & Oppel,
2002). Ability of [6]-shogaol in protection of astrocytes against
lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation has been studied
(Shim, Kim, Choi, Kwon, & Kwon, 2011). Topical application of
6-paradol or 6-dihydroparadol prior to treatment with TPA effectively
reduces the number of tumours per mouse and number of
mice exhibiting tumours in DMBA/TPA skin tumour models
(Chung, Jung, Surh, Lee, & Park, 2001).
