BBC News | HEALTH | Pine cone source for stroke drug (#)
„Low Graphics Tuesday, 9 October, 2001, 09:42 GMT 10:42 UK Pine cone source for stroke drug Damage can be widespread following stroke A molecule extracted from green tea leaves or pine cones may be able to reduce the brain damage from strokes, say scientists. Gallotannin, and nobotanin B - found in a Japanese flower - both cut the damage from a simulated stroke in mouse brain cells grown in the laboratory. However, there is no guarantee that they will work as well in a real patient. The hours following a stroke are crucial to the future prospects, or even survival of the patient.“
