- Abstract
The article discusses a study which investigated the effect of Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE) on 6-hydroxydopamine-induced PC12 cell apoptosis in a model of Parkinson's disease. It found that GBE had a potent cytoprotective action and inhibited PC12 cell apoptosis. It concludes that GBE may reduce the effects of oxidative stress and its potential effects may be greater than those of levodopa in treating Parkinson's disease.
