Ginkgo biloba - Toxins Inhibited by

Ginkgo Biloba may Inhibit these Potentially Toxic Substances

Amino Acids

 Ginkgo biloba may counteract the toxic effects of Glutamic Acid on Neurons (primarily due to the Ginkgolide B content of Ginkgo biloba).  ^[1]

Electromagnetic Radiation

 Ginkgo biloba may protect the Brain from the toxic effects associated with exposure to Microwaves (such as those generated by mobile phones).  ^[2]

 Ginkgo biloba may protect the body from the damage to Chromosomes associated with exposure to Radioactivity.  ^[3]

 Ginkgo biloba (alcohol extract applied topically) may protect the Skin from the toxic effects of excessive exposure to UV-B Ultra Violet Radiation (by stimulating the endogenous production of Catalase and Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) in the Skin).  ^[4]

Enzymes

 Ginkgo biloba may inhibit Acetylcholinesterase.  ^[5]

 Ginkgo biloba may inhibit Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) (due to the Ginkgetin content of Ginkgo biloba).  ^[6]

 Ginkgo biloba may inhibit Lipoxygenase (due to the Ginkgetin content of Ginkgo biloba).  ^[7]

 Ginkgo biloba may inhibit Monoamine Oxidase (both MAO-A and MAO-B) within the Brain.  ^[8]

 Ginkgo biloba may inhibit Phospholipase A2 (due to the Ginkgetin content of Ginkgo biloba).  ^[9]

Food Toxins

 Ginkgo biloba may inhibit Gossypol-induced apoptosis (cell death) of Lymphocytes.  ^[10]
