conclusions garlic powder consumption can reduce blood pressure, yet in this model, it did not have an effect on the interaction between renin angiotensin system and nitric oxide inhibition. results at the beginning and at the end of experiments, systolic blood pressure was higher in the hypertensive groups than the normotensive group. however, at the end of the study, diastolic blood pressure ...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary garlic on the growth performance, intestinal mucosa morphology, and pulmonary hypertensive response in broiler chickens with pulmonary hypertension induced by 3, 5, 3′-l triiodothyronine. chicks were reared for 42 days and treated with triiodothyronine (1.5 mg/kg diet) and 0 (control), 0.2, 0.6 or 1% garlic powder. intestinal segme...

The current study was conducted to examine the ability of using natural additives to manipulate rumen fermentation, improve nutrient utilization and animal performance in growing male buffalo calves. Sixteen buffalo calves of 12-14 months of age weighing 170 ±9.6 kg were divided into 4 groups, 4 animals / each. Caraway seed and garlic powder were added to calves basic diet (control) at levels o...

This study aimed to review the different pharmacological effects of garlic. Garlic, Allium sativum, is a herbal plant which has been used in different food preparations since long time. Many studies have shown that allicin is the main compound in garlic which is generated from alliin with the help of alliinase enzyme and is responsible for many pharmacological effects. Different studies have sh...

BACKGROUND Hypertension is one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular morbidities, including coronary artery disease (CAD). OBJECTIVES With interest on the important role of hypertension in the progression of CAD, this study was designed to estimate the effect of garlic powder tablets on the blood pressure (BP) in patients with severe CAD. METHODS A randomized, placebo-controlled, cli...

results during the 3 months study, in the placebo group, systolic bp (sbp) increased with 6.3 mmhg and diastolic bp (dbp) increased with 4.6 mmhg, changes which were significant. after the 3 months, the effect of garlic on sbp, after adjusting for baseline value, was significant, and this effect was more significant in hypertensive patients. plasma lipids and lipoproteins did not change signific...

This experiment was carried out to determine the effects of turmeric, cinnamon, ginger and garlic powder on mixed sex Cobb-500 broilers performance, serum antioxidant status, and serum thyroid hormones. Heat stresses were created by increasing ambient temperature to 32-34 ˚C from 12: a.m. to 16: p.m. during days 31-42 of the experiment. Blood serum samples were obtained from 6 broilers of each ...

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Although preclinical studies suggest that garlic has potential preventive effects on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, clinical trials and reports from systematic reviews or meta-analyses present inconsistent results. The contradiction might be attributed to variations in the manufacturing process that can markedly influence the composition of garlic products. To ...

OBJECTIVE This study investigated the effects of garlic on brachial endothelial function and THP-1 macrophage cholesterol efflux (CE) and examined whether garlic modulates ATP-binding cassette (ABC) A1 and ABCG1 mRNA expressions in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS In this randomized, placebo-controlled trial, patient...
