Ultrastructural analysis of kidney, liver and duodenum isolated from treated rats with Ginkgo Biloba extract and effects of this medicinal plant on the biodistribution of the padiopharmaceutical sodium pertechnetate

Abstract

Ginkgo biloba extract (EGb)

Influence of a Ginkgo biloba extract on the binding of [F-18]-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) on blood constituents

“…Moreover, authors have pointed out that in nuclear medicine, it is essential the understanding and quantification of this phenomenon in order to anticipate the behavior in vivo of radiotracers (Velasques de Oliveira et al, 2010b). In addition, authors have reported that several synthetic (Nigri et al, 2002) and natural medications (Moreno et al, 2007;Moreno et al, 2008a;Moreno et al, 2008b;Moreno et al, 2008c;Souza et al, 2011) are capable of interfering with the biodistribution and/or on the radiolabeling of blood constituents. These considerations show the importance of the studies about the effect of medications on the behavior of the radiopharmaceuticals.…”
