ginkgo/scopolamine

The regular extract of Ginkgo biloba has been shown to possess neuroprotective properties in disorders like hypoxia, ischemia, seizure activity and peripheral nerve damage. Also, G. biloba has received attention as a potential cognitive enhancer for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, but there is

Ginkgo ketoester tablets (GT) and donepezil were a clinically used combination for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The aim of the study was undertaken to investigate the antiamnesic effects of the two drugs alone and in combination through in vivo models of the Morris water maze

In order to clarify the mechanism of Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE) on learning and memory, we studied the effect of GBE on spatial memory deficits induced by diphenhydramine, pyrilamine and scopolamine using the eight-arm radial maze performance of rats, in comparison with donepezil. Total error (TE),

Ginkgo biloba extract is widely used as a herbal medicine or dietary supplement in Europe, since Ginkgo biloba extract is effective in facilitation of learning and recollection of memories. However, little is known about the mechanism of the action of Ginkgo biloba extract on learning and memory

The study has shown that the extracts from leaves of Ginkgo biloba can significantly improve the NaNO2 and scopolamine induced impaired memory in mice. The potency of the ethanolic extract is greater than that of the aqueous extract. The ethanolic extract acts favorably on the memory function of

The effect of Ginkgo biloba extract (GbE) on cerebral ischemia induced by 10-min bilateral occlusion of the carotid arteries in mice was studied. Severe impairment of memory was apparent when the passive avoidance test was carried out 48 hr after bilaterally induced ischemia. When GbE at doses of 50

Pre-clinical and clinical studies have shown that the extract of the leaves of Ginkgo biloba has modest therapeutic potential as a cognitive enhancing drug. The pharmacology of Ginkgo biloba is complex due to its multiple active constituents. While Ginkgo biloba's cognitive enhancing effects have

On oral administration, Ginkgo biloba phytosomes significantly reduced pentobarbitone-induced sleeping time, produced an alteration in the general behaviour pattern, increased spontaneous motility and inhibited the chlorpromazine-induced blockade of conditioned and unconditioned responses in

Bacopa monniera and Ginkgo biloba are well-known cognitive enhancers in Indian and Chinese traditional medicine systems. Standardized extracts of B. monniera and G. biloba were used to evaluate the antidementic and anticholinesterase activities in adult male Swiss mice. Antidementic activity was
