Abstract
Objective:
To determine the effects of Ginkgo leave concentrated oral liquor (GLC) on airway inflammation.
Methods:
Airway hyperreactivity and clinical symptoms and pulmonary functions of asthma patients were determined.
Results:
In contrast to placebo group, GLC significantly reduced airway hyperreactivity (P < 0.05) and improved clinical symptoms (P < 0.05), pulmonary functions (P < 0.05) of the asthmatic patients.
