The standardized extract of Ginkgo biloba leaves, known as EGb 761 ( Ginkgo biloba extract 761), includes 24% flavone glycosides (quercetin, kaempferol, and isorhamnetin), 6% terpene lactones (2.63.2% bilobalide, and 2.83.4% ginkgolides A, B, and C), 0.8% ginkgolide B, and 3% bilobalide [123]
Plants synthesize soluble antioxidants such as glutathione (GSH) and ascorbate (AsA) to enhance their antioxidant defense system, allowing them to cope with environmental stress 109
Finally, pharmacological targeting of the activity of -glutamyltransferases prevents the breakdown of circulating GSH, reduces tumour cysteine levels and slows tumour growth
There are dozens of reasons behind this claim
This suggests the physiological importance of the ZIP13-C/EBP- axis in beige adipocyte biogenesis and thermogenesis, and also highlights its potential in obesity treatment
