However, it is often difficult to analyse the biological activities of plant extracts due to their complex nature and the possible synergistic and/or antagonistic effects of their components. Genome-wide expression monitoring with high-density oligonucleotide arrays provides one way to examine the molecular targets of plant extracts and may prove a useful tool in evaluating their therapeutic claims. Here, we will briefly describe some of our work on the effect of EGb 761® on differential gene expression in relation to its potential anti-carcinogenic, photoprotective and neuromodulatory properties.
