ventricular fibrillation/ginkgo

EGb 761 is a preparation of Ginkgo biloba extract, which has complex biologic actions including free radical scavenging activity. To examine the anti-arrhythmic effect of EGb 761, a canine preparation of coronary artery occlusion-reperfusion was tested. Under intravenous anesthesia and open chest

BACKGROUND We studied the effect of preconditioning and Gikgo biloba extract (EGb 761) in relation to the recovery of contractile function after global ischemia in the isolated working rat heart. METHODS Hearts (n = 12 in each group) were randomly divided into five groups: In group I, hearts were

Effects of preconditioning and Ginkgo biloba extract (EGb 761) were studied in isolated nondiabetic and diabetic ischaemic and re-perfused rat hearts. Hearts were randomly divided into five groups in both the age-matched non-diabetic and the 8-week streptozotocin-induced diabetic groups: Group I,

Ginkgo biloba extract, a free radical scavenger containing kaempferol and quercetin esters, which are potent radical scavengers, was studied on various models of cardiac ischaemia, both in vitro and in vivo. On the two in vitro models of ischaemia-reperfusion described (rat and guinea-pig hearts)
