Effects of garlic (Allium sativum) on circulatory lipid peroxidation and antioxidant status were evaluated in N-Nitrosodiethylamine induced hepatocarcinogenesis in male rats. Enhanced lipid peroxidation in the circulation of NNitrosodiethylamine (NDEA) treated rats was accompanied by a decrease in the levels of vitamins C and E, reduced glutathione, glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase ...

Objective: Among herbal medicine, Allium sativum (garlic) has historically been used widely for the treatment of many disease such as hypertension, diabetes, tuberculosis, leprosy, constipation, parasitic infection, food poisoning, emmenagogue, abortion induction and many other disease. However, data about the particular effects of garlic such as activator of spermatogenesis has not been consid...

The toxic effects of the extracts of Allium sativum (Garlic) were evaluated against adults of Hyalomma marginatum rufipes and Rhipicephalus pulchellus using three types (Types A, B and C) of contact toxicity bioassays. A. sativum bulbs were extracted with acetone, ethanol and dichloromethane (DCM) solvents. Among these three solvents, it is the DCM extract of A. sativum that appears to have ant...

cis-S-1-Propenylcysteine has been identified in aged garlic extract, however, its production mechanism is still unclear. The content of cis-S-1-propenylcysteine in aged garlic extract at 22 months of aging was more than twice the molarity of γ-glutamyl-cis-S-1-propenylcysteine in raw garlic, a plausible precursor of cis-S-1-propenylcysteine. We found that cis-S-1-propenylcysteine was generated ...

The hypotensive effect of garlic has been well-documented in human subjects and animals. Since endothelial activity regulates vascular reactivity in physiological and pathophysiological conditions, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of garlic on endothelium-dependent and independent relaxation of rat aorta for elucidation of mechanism of the garlic anti-hypertensive effe...

Objective: The present study on garlic cloves (Allium sativum) belongs to family Amaryllidaceae has been focused. This is a natural medicinal plant used for disease preventions against all kinds of internal infections. Preliminary screening of phytochemicals has found plenty of secondary metabolites which are present in garlic cloves. Their functional groups and mineral compositions, the potent...
