Possible Interaction: Glutathione and Ginkgo Biloba Whole

“Preincubation with N-acetylcysteine or ginkgo biloba extract increased GSH level, suppressed AGEs-induced oxidative stress and TGF-beta1, CTGF and Fn mRNA overexpression. ”

“On the contrary, a significant increase in the reduced glutathione , GSH/GSSG ratio as well as in the activities of antioxidant enzymes was observed with GBE administration.”

“Administration of GbE , rutin and quercetin remarkably inhibited the AR activity, stimulated the production of glutathione , and decreased the levels of MDA and AGEs in the lenses of DC-induced rats, which eventually delayed the progression of lens opacification in diabetic rats to various degrees.”

“ GBP elicited a significant cardioprotective activity by lowering the levels of serum marker enzymes and lipid peroxidation and elevated the levels of GSH , SOD, CAT, GPx and GR.”

“Treatment of rats with EGb significantly increased the GSH level and decreased the MDA level, MPO activity, and collagen contents.”

“… Ginkgo biloba in doses of (30, 60, 120 mg kg(-1) body weight) and sulfasalazine in a dose of (500 mg kg(-1) body weight … before induction of colitis and continued for 5 consecutive days, significantly decreased colonic MPO activity, TNF-alpha, and IL-1beta levels and increased GSH ….”

“Treatment of rats with EGb significantly increased the GSH level and decreased the MDA level, MPO activity, and collagen contents.”
