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 formal expression of pro positional attitudes, especially when nested (iterated), is an important problem for A I . An interesting first-order extensional logical system for such expression has been proposed by Creary. In this system concepts (and concepts of concepts, etc.) are made explicit. The system includes "concept functions", which are special functions which act on and deliver conc...

Background: Dominant Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) originally isolated from traditional non-dairy fermented foods, may harbor unique characteristics such as probiotic properties. In this research, probiotic potential of dominant LAB isolated from pickled garlic was studied. Methods: After isolation of dominant LAB from pickled garlic produced with apple cider vinegar, the isolate was identified...

Anethole and garlic have an immune modulatory effects on avian coccidiosis, and these effects are correlated with gene expression changes in intestinal epithelial lymphocytes (IELs). In this study, we integrated gene expression datasets from two independent experiments and investigated gene expression profile changes by anethole and garlic respectively, and identified gene expression signatures...

background & aim: allium sativum commonly known as garlic is an herb used over years to prevent from various ailments such as cardiovascular diseases, cognitive disorders and also enhances the immune system. the aim of the present study is to study the in vitro antiarthritic and antihemolytic potential of garlic in aqueous and methanolic extracts. fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was per...

Protective effect of garlic on the development of cancer has been reported in the in vitro and in vivo experimental studies; however, few human epidemiologic studies have evaluated the relationship. A population-based case-control study has been conducted in a Chinese population from 2003 to 2010, with the aim to explore the association between raw garlic consumption and lung cancer. Epidemiolo...

Cadmium (Cd) contamination is a highly dangerous international problem because it can transfer into the food chain and become bioaccumulated, endangering human health. Cd detoxication is very interesting particularly the method providing no undesirable side effects. Cd also causes lipid oxidation that leads to undesired food quality. Garlic (Allium sativum L.) has been used as conventional food...

The medicinal use of garlic dates back thousands of years, but there was little scientific support of its therapeutic and pharmacologic properties until recently. In the past decade, the cancer-protective effects of garlic have been well established by epidemiologic studies and animal experiments. However, the cardiovascular-protective properties of garlic are less well understood. In particula...
