Several studies suggest that the constituents of garlic may inhibit experimentally induced carcinogenesis. To evaluate the chemopreventive properties of garlic in humans, the effects of chronic administration of an aged garlic extract on the disposition of acetaminophen and metabolites were studied. This commonly used drug was chosen because it forms a reactive electrophilic metabolite after ox...

BACKGROUND Garlic is widely promoted as a cholesterol-lowering agent, but efficacy studies have produced conflicting results. Garlic supplements differ in bioavailability of key phytochemicals. We evaluated the effect of raw garlic and 2 commonly used garlic supplements on cholesterol concentrations in adults with moderate hypercholesterolemia. METHODS In this parallel-design trial, 192 adult...

this study investigates the effects of garlic extract on salinity and ph stress resistance of white leg shrimp post larvae (0.1±0.01 g). the experiment was carried out on the basis of completely random model with 5 dietary treatments which include 0 (control treatment), 1cc (treatment 1), 2cc (treatment 2), 4cc (treatment 3) and 8cc (treatment 4) per 100g food in triplicate. 1500 shrimps were r...

To evaluate the effects of garlic on some blood metabolites in pre-partum dairy goats, the ration was supplemented with raw garlic at the doses of 0, 30, 50 and 70 g kg-1 of Dry matter (DM) in eight pregnant Mahabadi breed goats (59 ± 1 kg initial live weight) in a replicated Latin square design during the last two months of pregnancy. Each experimental period lasted 14 days with the first 12 d...

garlic (allium sativuml.) is one of the most important allium spice. from an economic point of view, the dried garlic slices are valuable products. in this research, garlic slices as a thin layer were dried in a laboratory scale hot-air dryer, under air flow of 1.5 m/s, air temperatures of 50, 60 and 70˚c and slice thicknesses of 2, 3 and 4 mm. the mean values of shrinkage of garlic slices obta...

The successful use of herbal combinations in managing diseases or conditions over a single herb has lead us to evaluate the anti-dyslipidemic properties of the combination of the artichoke leaves extract, turmeric extract, prickly pear dried leaves (PPL) and garlic extract versus each one alone in two different hyperlipidemic animal models. A two-week treatment of each of the natural extracts, ...
