    Journal: Zhong Xi Yi Jie He Xue Bao; 2005 Jan; 3(1):50-3. PubMed ID: 15644162.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of ginkgolide (GL) on the cerebral blood flow in dogs. METHODS: Dogs anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital were randomly divided into 5 groups, with 4 dogs in each group. Ginkgolide of 4.86, 14.6 and 43.7 mg/kg and Xingling Granule of 0.22 g/kg were administered by gavage to the dogs in each of 4 groups. The dogs in the other group were administered with edible oil (1 ml/kg) as control group. The cerebral blood flow, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial blood pressure and electro-cardiogram of the dogs were measured at different times after the administration. RESULTS: Ginkgolide of 4.86, 14.6 and 43.7 mg/kg had no obvious effects on the blood pressure and the heart rate. Ginkgolide of 14.6 and 43.7 mg/kg increased the cerebral blood flow 90 minutes after administration, and ginkgolide of 43.7 mg/kg obviously decreased the cerebral vascular resistance 150 minutes after administration. CONCLUSION: Ginkgolide can increase the cerebral blood flow and decrease the cerebral vascular resistance, and it has no obvious effects on blood pressure and heart rate in dogs.
