Ischemic stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability. To date, there is no effective treatment for stroke. Previous studies have shown that Ginkgo biloba extract has protective effects against neurodegenerative disorders. In this present study, we sought to test the potential protective role of an active component of Ginkgo biloba extract, bilobalide, in a rat model of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO).
