[Improvement of memory in mice by extracts from leaves of Ginkgo biloba L].
The study has shown that the extracts from leaves of Ginkgo biloba can significantly improve the NaNO2 and scopolamine induced impaired memory in mice. The potency of the ethanolic extract is greater than that of the aqueous extract. The ethanolic extract acts favorably on the memory function of normal animals. Both extracts help to prolong the survival time of mice receiving 200 mg/kg(ip)NaNO2.
