Summary

Ginaton, a Ginkgo biloba extract, improved cochlear blood flow (CBF) in a dose-dependent manner when administered intravenously. Different administration methods influenced Ginaton's effects on cochlear microcirculation.

Context:

Cochlear blood flow (CBF) is crucial for maintaining inner ear function.
Ginkgo biloba extracts, like Ginaton, possess vasoactive properties.
Understanding drug effects on cochlear microcirculation is vital for treating hearing disorders.

Purpose:

To investigate the impact of Ginaton on cochlear blood flow.
To establish an experimental foundation for the clinical application of Ginaton.
To explore dose-dependent effects and administration route influences on CBF.

Summary:

Intravenous administration of Ginaton in guinea pigs demonstrated a dose-dependent increase in cochlear blood flow within a specific dosage range.
Round window membrane application of Ginaton resulted in decreased cochlear blood flow.
Mean arterial blood pressure showed minimal changes, except for a decrease at a specific high intravenous dose.

Impact:

Provides evidence for Ginaton's potential therapeutic role in conditions affecting cochlear circulation.
Highlights the importance of administration route in determining the efficacy and mechanism of Ginaton.
Contributes to the understanding of pharmacological interventions for inner ear vascular health.
