    • Excessive production of nitric oxide (NO) may have cytotoxic effects through the formation of peroxynitrite with superoxide. The extract of Ginkgo biloba leaves (EGb) has been demonstrated to be a potent scavenger of free radicals. Although EGb has been shown recently to inhibit NO production in macrophages, its effect on NO production in endothelial cells is largely unknown. The objective of this study was to elucidate the mechanism by which EGb affects NO production in a human endothelial… CONTINUE READING
