ginkgo/proline

The effects of exogenous nitric oxide donor sodium nitroprusside (SNP) on substance metabolism of Ginkgo biloba leaves under drought stress were studied. The results showed that 250 micromol/L SNP (Fig.2) treatment under 35% relative soil water content (RSWC) stress (Fig.1) raised remarkably soluble

Hevein and hevein-like peptides belong to the family of chitin-binding cysteine-rich peptides. They are classified into three subfamilies, the prototypic 8C- and the 6C- and 10C-hevein-like peptides. Thus far, only five 8C-hevein-like peptides have been characterized from three angiosperms and none

A 9-kD proteinase inhibitor was isolated from the seeds of ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba) and purified to homogeneity. This protein was revealed to partial-noncompetitively inhibit the aspartic acid proteinase pepsin and the cysteine proteinase papain (inhibition constant = 10(-5)-10(-4) m). The cDNA of the

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the lipid-regulating effects of extract from Ginkgo biloba leaves (EGB) using pharmacological methods and metabonomic profiling in a rat model of diet-induced hyperlipidemia. METHODS EGB was orally administered at a dose level of 40 mg/kg in both the EGB-prevention and

Prolyl endopeptidase (PEP, EC 3.4.21.26) hydrolyzes proline-containing neuropeptides, such as vasopressin, substance P, and thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), and is suggested to participate in learning and memory processes. Ginkgo biloba leaves, upon examination for anti-amnestic constituents as

Ginkgo biloba studies have focused on the anti-inflammatory effects of the major components, ginkgolide and bilobalide, whereas little is known about their effect on fibroblasts. This study demonstrated the enhancing effects of Ginkgo L. extracts, especially the flavonoid fractions: quercetin,

Ginkgo biloba is an economically valuable tree, as a variety of flavonoid compounds are produced by the leaves of its seedlings. Although soil salinity is a serious threat to agricultural productivity worldwide, the effect of salt stress on G. biloba seedlings remains unclear. In this
