BACKGROUND It has been shown that several extracts and compounds derived from garlic are able to inhibit Cu2+-induced low density lipoprotein oxidation. In this work we explored if the ability of aqueous garlic extract to prevent in vitro Cu2+-induced lipoprotein oxidation in human serum is affected by heating (a) aqueous garlic extracts or (b) garlic cloves. In the first case, aqueous extract ...

abstract introduction the main function of the fibrinolytic system is to dissolve fibrin clots in circulation. this system is composed of inactive precursor plasminogen which can be converted into plasmin by the proteolytic enzymes like tissue-type plasminogen activator (tpa). fibrinolytic properties can be found in a variety of medicine plants and they could effectively prevent cardiovascular ...

OBJECTIVES Comparative hypoglycemic and hypolipidaemic activity of garlic (ethanol) extract and metformin was the aim of the study in 24 normal and diabetic rabbits. MATERIAL AND METHODS In group A of 12 rabbits, the influence of different doses (250, 300 and 350 mg/kg body weight) of garlic extract was evaluated, six of them were kept normal, while six were caused to be diabetic with alloxan...

Intravenous administration of garlic extract (25.9 mg/kg body weight), significantly increases urinary output in dogs, whjch was also found to be dose dependent. The pH of urine was not altered after the administration of garlic extract. Effect of intravenous administration of Furosemide (1.0 mg/kg b. wt.) was also observed for control comparison. It was found that the garlic in high doses (54....

garlic is known as a potent spice and a medicinal herb with broad therapeutic properties ranging from antibacterial to anticancer and anticoagulant. our previous studies have shown some immunoregulatory effects for aged garlic extract, suggesting a key role for 14-kd glycoprotein of garlic in shifting the cytokine pattern to t helper-1. in present study, we investigated the effect of 1, 2, and ...
