Protein glycation involves formation of early (Amadori) and late advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) together with free radicals via autoxidation of glucose and Amadori products. Glycation and increased free radical activity underlie the pathogenesis of diabetic complications. This study investigated whether aged garlic has more potent antiglycation and antioxidant properties compared to fres...

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 ...

BACKGROUND Hypertension affects 30% of adults worldwide. Garlic supplements have shown promise in the treatment of uncontrolled hypertension, and the mechanism of action is biologically plausible. Our trial is the first to assess the effect of aged garlic extract on central blood pressure and arterial stiffness, regarded as important risk factors for cardiovascular morbidity. SUBJECTS AND MET...

R an article published, entitled “renoprotective effect of aged garlic extract in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats” (1). In this study, diabetic rats were feed by aged garlic juice orally. The serum and urinary biochemical parameters were analyzed in all the groups and at the end of 12 weeks follow up, the kidney morphological examination were performed, too. They found that, diabetic rats ...

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...

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 ...
