In this study, South Korean researchers investigated the neuroprotective effects of Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE) against hypoxic injury to retinal ganglion cells (RGC) in vitro and in vivo. Their findings were published in the Journal of Medicinal Food.
Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that GBE has neuroprotective effects against hypoxic injury that can lead to glaucoma.
