Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) is characterized by pre- and postnatal growth retardation,
neuronal damage, a specific pattern of craniofacial abnormalities, and limb and cardiac defects
(Jones and Smith, 1973).
Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS)
(http://www.faslink.org/fasmain.htm)
The insult on the brain by ethanol affects intelligence, cognitive function, and behavior (Abel,
1990).
In the United States and Europe, the FAS prevalence rate is estimated to be between 0.2-2 in
every 1000 live births (Vaux and Keith, 2012).

Ethanol-induced toxic mechanism
Maternal alcohol consumption induces an excess production of ROS in fetal tissues which is
responsible for some toxic responses to alcohol (Cohen-Kerem and Koren , 2003; Lee et al 2005).
Therefore, antioxidants may significantly improve adverse developmental
outcomes and diminish the incidence and severity of major malformations that
result from ethanol exposure in utero.

A single cigarette smoking provides about 1 mg of nicotine for
human and produces a peak increment of plasma nicotine
concentration of 5–30 ng/ml within minutes (Benowitz, 1988).
Nicotine readily gains access to fetal compartment via the
placenta, with fetal concentrations generally 15% higher than
maternal levels (Lambers and Clark, 1996).

Nicotine toxic mechanisms
To reduce embryotoxicity caused by cigarette smoking during pregnancy, exogenous
antioxidants that counteract the damaging effects of cigarette smoke have received
increasing attention (Eiserich et al., 1995).
Nicotine induces excessive generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that perturbs the
oxidant/antioxidant balance, and leads to the development of embryonic and fetal oxidative
stress during pregnancy (Zhao and Reece, 2005; Bruin et al., 2008).

Black ginseng inhibits ethanol-induced teratogenesis in cultured mouse embryos
through its effects on antioxidant activity (Toxicol In Vitro. 2009 ;23(1):47-52.)
Black ginseng is produced from red ginseng by 9 cycles of steam treatment, at which point it
becomes black in color (Lee et al., 2006).
During the steaming process, the ratio of major bioactive components, including ginsenosides,
saponin, phenolics, and proteins, is altered as newly produced components (Kim et al., 2007).
