In an attempt to explore the effect of Ginseng on the permeability of the biological membrane to cations we have investigated the effect of Ginseng-alcohol extract on the transport of Na<sup>+</sup> human red blood cell preprations. The Na<sup>+</sup> influx was measured in intact red cells using <sup>22</sup>Na as a tracer and the efflux in reseated red cells using <sup>24</sup>Na as a tracer. 1. The influx of Na<sup>+</sup> was not apparently changed by the Ginseng-alcohol extract of 20mg% in the incubation medium. 2. Similarly, 20mg% Ginseng-alcohol extract in the cellular space did not alter the efflux of Na<sup>+</sup> from the cell. However, 50mg% of Ginseng-alcohol extract in the cell resulted in a significant increase in the Na<sup>+</sup> efflux and this effect was magnified when the cell was suspended in the medium containing the Ginseng-alcohol extract in a concentration of 20mg %. The results suggest that Ginseng-alcohol extract over 50mg% increase permeability of red blood cell membrane to Na<sup>+</sup> by altering the membrane integrity.
