Studies with animals have demonstrated that this herb may be effective the treatment of depression and aging. It has been demonstrated that Ginkgo biloba extract effects the reduction of serotonin receptors. In studies with older rats, serotonin receptor sites have shown up to a 33% increase. Studies with human patients have noted an increase in the patients outlook (see Clinical Studies - Alzheimer's and Cerebral Vascular Insufficiency).
Does this mean ginkgo biloba is a 5ht2 receptor modulator ? and will help with the 5ht2 receptor stimulation from ssris?
