Prophylactic and therapeutic effect of ginko biloba extract (Egb761) on mortality of intestinal deep ischemia-reperfusion model in rats

26372

Objectives: Ginkgo biloba extract (EGb761) is a standardized form of Ginkgo Biloba plant leaves which have been used by Chines nearly 5000 years and Its’ antioxidant activity is known. In this study we aimed to investigate effect use of EGb761 on mortality in Megison’un deep ischemia reperfusion model of rats. Materials and Methods: 138 male Spraque-Dawley rats were used in this study. The rats were divided into 4 groups: Group I (control group), Group II (deep ischemiareperfusion group), Group III (Group of prophylaxis and treatment of deep ischemia-reperfusion with EGb 761),Group IV (group of treatment with EGb 761 during deep ischemia). Deep ischemia was applied 30 minutes. Rats were followed-up one week after laparotomy. Differences between numbers of mortality in groups during one week follow-up were compared. Results: Number of died rats in Group I, II, III, and IV during one week follow-up were 2 (7.7%), 22 (61.1%), 6 (13.6%), and 11 (34.3%) respectively. Mortality rate decreased statistically signifi cant with use of EGb761 with prophylactic and therapeutic purposes (p 0.001, p 0.028). Conclusion: EGb761’s prophylactic and therapeutic benefi t on intestinal ischemia reperfusion injury was observed. However, these results should be supported with further biochemical and histopathological studies.
