Ginkgo biloba prevents mobile phone-induced brain oxidative damage

Not many people seem to be aware of this interesting study in which the investigators subjected brain tissue (of rats) to mobile phone EMR (electromagnetic radiation): "Since several experimental studies suggest a role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in EMR-induced oxidative damage in tissues, in this study, we investigated the effect of Ginkgo biloba (Gb) on MP-induced oxidative damage in brain tissue of rats." Interestingly, they found that the oxidative damage that occurred in the control (untreated) group did not occur with the group treated beforehand with Gingko. "Conclusion: Reactive oxygen species may play a role in the mechanism that has been proposed to explain the biological side effects of MP, and Gb prevents the MP-induced oxidative stress to preserve antioxidant enzymes activity in brain tissue."
