Abstract:
Objective To study the effects of Ginkgo biloba extract(EGb761) on the expression of nuclear factor-kappa B(NF-κB), contents of nitric oxide(NO) and inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS) in C6 glioma cells. Methods Upon stimulation with lipopolysaccharide(LPS) and phorbol-1,2-myristate-1,3-acetate (PMA), iNOS gene was expressed in cultured C6 glioma cells, which caused the consequent generation of high concentration of nitric oxide. The effects of EGb761 on the intracellular NO concentration and the express...
