An in-line monitoring method for the elution process of Ginkgo biloba L. leaves using visible and near-infrared spectroscopy in conjunction with multivariate statistical control (MSPC) was established. Experiments, including normal operating batches abnormal ones, were designed carried out. The MSPC model developed validated. abnormalities detected successfully by charts principal component sco...

Extracts of Ginkgo biloba leaves, a natural source of flavonoids and polyphenolic compounds, are commonly used as therapeutic agents for the improvement of both cognitive and physiological performance. The present study was aimed to test the effects of a six-week supplementation with 160 mg/day of a standardized extract of Ginkgo biloba or a matching placebo on aerobic performance, blood antiox...

Ginkgo biloba extracts have long been used in Chinese traditional medicine for hundreds of years. The most significant extract obtained from Ginkgo biloba leaves has been EGb 761, a widely used phytopharmaceutical product in Europe. EGb 761 is a well-defined mixture of active compounds, which contains two main active substances: flavonoid glycosides (24-26%) and terpene lactones (6-8%). These c...

objective: exposure to traumatic stressors lead to activation of arousal responses mediated by serotonergic and noradrenergic systems and it may cause a change in numerous neurotransmitters and neuroendocrine systems. there is ample experimental and clinical evidence to suggest that ginkgo biloba extract is neuroprotective and has antioxidant properties and can restore stress-induced elevation ...

the entomopathogenic fungus beauveria bassiana (bals.) vuill. is one of the important arthropod pathogens that can play an important role in the regulation of mite populations in agricultural ecosystems. in this study, the combined effect of a native isolate of fungus b. bassiana (eut105) and ether-extract of plant, ginkgo biloba was evaluated against the two-spotted spider mite, tetranychus ur...

Ginkgo biloba L., a "living fossil" and medicinal plant, is a well-known rich source of bioactive flavonoids. The molecular mechanism underlying the biosynthesis of flavonoid glucosides, the predominant flavonoids in G. biloba, remains unclear. To better understand flavonoid glucosylation in G. biloba, we generated a transcriptomic dataset of G. biloba leaf tissue by high-throughput RNA sequenc...

Vellas B, Coley N, Ousset PJ, et al; GuidAge Study Group. Long-term use of standardised ginkgo biloba extract for the prevention of Alzheimers disease (GuidAge): a randomised placebo-controlled trial. Question In elderly patients who report memory complaints to their primary care physicians, does ginkgo biloba extract reduce risk for Alzheimer disease (AD)? Methods Design: Randomized placebo-co...

Ginkgo biloba L. is a well-known living gymnosperm fossil that has medicinal and ornamental value. In this study, a high density genetic map was constructed with megagametophytes of 94 seeds from a single Ginkgo tree by employing the specific-locus amplified fragment (SLAF) sequencing technique. The average sequencing depth was 11.20×, which yielded 538,031 high-quality SLAFs. Among these SLAFs...
