Hypolipidemic Activity of Standardized Ginkgo biloba Extract, EGb 761 in Wistar Rats
Cardiovascular diseases are becoming an increasing problem worldwide. Hypercholesterolemia has been implicated in causation of coronary heart disease. Oxidation of low density lipoprotein has been shown to be prevented by standardized Ginkgo biloba extract, EGb 761. Studies on the effect of Ginkgo biloba on serum lipid levels are lacking. Hence the present study was carried out to study the eff...
متن کاملThe standardized Ginkgo biloba extract Egb-761 protects vascular endothelium exposed to oxidized low density lipoproteins.
Dietary antioxidants are frequently proposed as protective agents for the vascular endothelium during the onset of atherosclerosis. This protection may occur at two distinct levels. First, they prevent oxidative modification of atherogenic lipoproteins (LDL). Second, they can provide a cellular protection against oxidized LDL-mediated endothelium dysfunction, although this mechanism remains poo...
متن کاملGinkgo biloba leaf extract (EGb 761) enhances catalepsy induced by haloperidol and L-nitroarginine in mice.
Ginkgo biloba extract EGb 761 has been reported to have therapeutic effects which have been attributed to anti-oxidant and free radical-scavenging activities, including a direct action on nitric oxide production. L G-nitro-arginine (L-NOARG), a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, and haloperidol, a drug that blocks dopamine receptors, are both known to induce catalepsy in rodents. Nitric oxide has...
متن کاملImprovement of auditory discrimination learning by Ginkgo biloba extract EGb 761.
The effect of oral application of Ginkgo biloba extract EGb 761 on auditory discrimination learning in Mongolian gerbils was investigated using discrimination tasks with three different degrees of difficulty and two protocols for administration starting 2 weeks prior to or at the beginning of training. In comparison to placebo-treated controls we observed significant improvement of learning per...
متن کاملGinkgo biloba extract (EGb 761) attenuates oxidative stress induction in erythrocytes of sickle cell disease patients
Sickle cell disease promotes hemolytic anemia and occlusion of small blood vessels due to the presence of high concentrations of hemoglobin S, resulting in increased production of reactive oxygen species and decreased antioxidant defense capacity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the protective action of a standardized extract of Ginkgo biloba (EGb 761), selected due to its high content of...
