GBE50 is a standard extract of the ginkgo leaf, which was developed by a Chinese company. This study utilized GBE50 to treat an experimental rat model of aging and compared with EGB761. Results demonstrate that GBE50 and EGB761 enhanced hippocampal synaptic plasticity and improved the learning and memory of aging rats. | | |

Research Highlights |
 |
The current study indicated that brazilein can increase S100 protein expression in injured segments of the spinal cord, and promote sciatic nerve repair after sciatic nerve injury in BALB/c mice. Both high (16 g/kg) and medium (8 g/kg) doses were found to exert significant effects. | | |
