A 60 day feeding trial was conducted to determine the growth performance of Macrobrachium rosenbergii post larvae (PL) on Allium sativum (Garlic), Zingiber officinale (Ginger), Curcuma longa (Turmeric) and Trigonella foenum-graecum (Fenugreek) incorporated diets. Survival rate (SR) ranged from 69.0-80.0% in experimental diets fed PL groups were recorded against 66.0% in control. The elevation i...

Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs) with comprehensive transcript information are valuable resources for development of molecular markers as they are derived from conserved genic regions. The present study highlights the mining of EST database to deduce the class I hyper variable SSRs in A. sativum. From 21694 garlic EST sequences, 642 non-redundant SSRs were identified with an average frequency of ...

BACKGROUND Garlic or Allium sativum (As) shows therapeutic effects such as reduction of blood pressure or hypercholesterolemia but side-effects on reproductive functions remain poorly investigated. Because of garlic's chemical complexity, the processing methods and yield in preparations differ in efficacy and safety. In this context, we clarify the mechanisms of action of crushed crude garlic o...

Garlic (Allium sativum L.) is a widespread crop in vegetable production. The popularity of garlic due to its bactericidal and antioxidant properties. Digestate wood ash are the by-products cogeneration plants. digestate rich nutrients, can provide large part nutrients needed by plant during growing season, as well improves soil structure. Wood contains small amounts phosphorus potassium strongl...

Introduction: Garlic (Allium sativum, Family: Amaryllidaceae) is a seasoning plant cultivated all over the world. contains lot of bioactive compounds including organosulfur compounds, saponins, phenolic and polysaccharides. Anticoagulant activity one pharmacological properties Garlic. The aim this study was to review mechanism anticoagulant garlic summarise potential evidence about from past st...

PURPOSE The herbal supplement garlic (Allium sativum) is commonly used by cancer patients. Preclinical studies have shown that allicin, a major component of garlic, may affect cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) activity. This study examines the influence of garlic supplementation on the pharmacokinetics of docetaxel, a CYP3A4 substrate. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Women with metastatic breast cancer were t...

The effect of aqueous garlic extract on the macromolecular synthesis of Candida albicans was studied. Protein and nucleic acid syntheses were inhibited to the same extent as growth, but lipid synthesis was completely arrested. Blockage of lipid synthesis is likely an important component of the anticandidal activity of garlic.

Garlic (Allium sativum), belonging to the family Amarylidaceae, is a bulbous plant which widely used as condiment for its pungent flavour. India holds second position in garlic production after China. It attacked by many insect pests. The most hazardous pest mite (Aceria tulipae). This also known dry bulb or onion mite. attacks both field and storage condition. In condition typical pig tail app...

The effects of both garlic (Allium sativum) and onion (Allium cepa) on some biochemical parameters in Schistosoma mansoni infected mice individually and mixed either with or without the currently used drug, praziquantel (PZQ) were investigated. These involved some immunological parameters, namely IgM, IgG, interleukins 2 and 6 (IL-2 and 6) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), some antioxidant enz...

Garlic (Allium sativum) is well known for its beneficial effects on health and particularly for its chemopreventive potential against cancer. The present study was designed to compare the chemopreventive efficacies of several garlic powders with various levels of alliin, a precursor of active sulfur compounds. For this purpose we used the medium-term hepatocarcinogenesis protocol (resistant hep...
