Effect of Ginkgo biloba extract on the levels of NP-SH in the stomachs of rats treated by gavages with 50% ethanol1.
| Treatment and dose | n | NP-SH concentrations (mg/100 mg /wet tissue, mean±SE) |
| Control (NS) | 5 | 12.21±1.03 |
| NS+50% EtOH (1 mL/rat) | 5 | 2.82±1.32a |
| GbE (8.75 mg/kg)+50% EtOH | 5 | 5.03±1.25c |
| GbE (17.5 mg/kg)+50% EtOH | 5 | 5.66±1.82c |
| GbE (26.25 mg/kg)+50% EtOH | 5 | 11.32±2.01c |
