AIM: To study the effects of Ginkgo. biloba extract (EGB) on myocardial TGF-β1 and collagen expression and interstitial fibrosis in type Ⅰdiabetic cardiomyopathy rats. METHODS: Thirty male SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group (CON), diabetes mellitus group (DM) and EGB treatment group (EGB). Streptozocin was intraperitoneally injected into the animals in the latter 2 groups to induce typeⅠ diabetic rat model. The rats in EGB group were intraperitoneally injected with EGB. At the end of the 12th week, the body weight of each rat and its left ventri- cular weight, blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin and serum insulin concentration were measured. The left ventricularend-diastolic volume (LVEDV), the left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV), the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and the stroke volume (SV) were determined by echocardiography. The content of collagen in left ventricular myocardium, and the expression of transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-I31), procollagen type I and collagen type Ⅲ were assayed by Sirius red staining, immunohistochemical sthining and RT-PCR, respectively. Left ventricular myocardial cells of the neonatal SD rats were isolated and cultured in vitro with low-glucose culture medium (LG group), high-glucose culture medium ( HG group) or high-glucose culture medium plus EGB ( HG + EGB group). The mRNA levels of TGF-t51 , procollagen type Ⅰ and collagen type Ⅲ were detected by RT-PCR. RESULTS: Compared with CON group, blood glucose,glycosylated hemoglobin, left ventricular weight index, the content of collagen, and the expression of TGF-β1, procollagen type Ⅰ and collagen type Ⅲ in left ventricular myocardial tissues of DM group were significantly increased, while the levels of blood insulin, LVEDV and SV were significantly decreased. However, compared with DM group, blood glucose, glyco- sylated hemoglobin, left ventricule weight index, the content of collagen, and the expression level
