The present study evaluated the beneficial effect of aqueous extract of garlic (Allium sativum L.; 100mg/kg/day) on the alterations in vascular reactivity of streptozotocin-diabetic rats. After 8 weeks of treatment, thoracic aortic rings of rats were mounted in organ baths and contractile responses to phenylephrine and relaxant responses to acetylcholine and isosorbide dinitrate were assessed. ...

In this study, we investigated the effect of savory (Satureja hortensis) essential oil, garlic(Allium sativum) powder, and garlic aqueous extract on fungal load of poultry feed. Tothis end, savory essential oil and garlic aqueous extract each amounting 62.5, 125, and250 μl/ml and mg/ml, respectively, per kilogram of feed and garlic powder amounting2.5, 5, and 10 g/kg of feed were used. One and ...

objective(s) we determined the effect of a high fructose diet either alone or in combination with iranian shallot or garlic extract on cognitive functions, plasma lipid profile, and the intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (ipgtt). materials and methods following induction of insulin resistance in fructose-fed rats (fru-fed), they were randomly assigned to three subgroups. the first subgroup ...

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.

background: the production of nitric oxide (no) is important in the final outcome of leishmaniasis in animal models. objective: the efficacy of garlic therapy and a combination of garlic and vitamin a were compared with an antimonial drug (glucantime) to assess healing and regulation of no release in mice infected with leishmania major . methods: the mice were subjected to 3 ´ 10 5 promastigote...

Ornamental fish sector is considered a large international market and parasitical diseases cause a serious damage on this trade’s profits. This study was conducted to investigate the use of garlic (Allium sativum) and chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) aqueous extracts on suppression of Ichthyophthirius multifiliis parasite in guppy fish (Poecilia reticulata). Two experimental groups consisted o...

BACKGROUND The study was aimed to show the effect of molecular mechanism of Aqueous Garlic Extract (AGE) on expression of IFNγ and iNOS genes in Leishmania major. METHODS Leishmania major promastigotes (MRHO/IR/75/ER) were added to the in-vitro cultured J774 cell line, the cells were incubated for 72 hours. Various concentrations of garlic extract (9.25, 18.5, 37, 74, 148 mg/ml) were added to...

Aqueous Garlic Extract Alleviates Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in Retinal Tissue of Rats with Diabetes Type 2

Objective(s) We determined the effect of a high fructose diet either alone or in combination with Iranian shallot or garlic extract on cognitive functions, plasma lipid profile, and the intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (IPGTT). Materials and Methods Following induction of insulin resistance in fructose-fed rats (Fru-fed), they were randomly assigned to three subgroups. The first subgro...

The present study investigated the effect of garlic (Allium sativum Linn.) aqueous extracts on ischemic preconditioning and ischemia-reperfusion induced cardiac injury, as well as adenosine involvement in ischemic preconditioning and garlic extract induced cardioprotection. A model of ischemia-reperfusion injury was established using Langendorff apparatus. Aqueous extract of garlic dose was sta...
