Abstract: A Ginkgo diterpene lactone composition is provided. The composition has the effect of improving a depressive state. The composition can prolong a tail flick interval time and a swimming interval time of a mouse to different degrees and can also increase the frequency of escaping from electric shock to different degrees. The additional addition of a certain amount of ginkgolide C, ginkgolide J, and ginkgolide L greatly enhances the effect of improving the depressive state. It is further proved through experiments that after the provision of the Ginkgo diterpene lactone composition, indexes, such as SOD, MDA, GSH, and TAC, can be improved to different degrees. For example, after the addition of a certain amount of ginkgolide C, ginkgolide J, and ginkgolide L, the improving effect gets more obvious, the oxidative stress level can be better improved, and the oxidative damage can be relieved.
