Bulbous Allium spp. such as “big-headed” elephant garlic (Allium ampeloprasum L.) and common sativus contain a wide range of bioactive compounds with health-promoting properties are most commonly used food seasonings. The objective the present study is to verify if there difference in selected nutraceuticals (dry matter, TPC, allicin) elemental profiles (macro- micro-elements) two species produ...

This work investigated the effects of Allium ampeloprasum extract (AME) on testosterone synthesis in TM3 Leydig cells under hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced oxidative stress. AME showed no increment cell proliferation oxidatively stressed cells. Testosterone level lowered when were treated with H2O2, but increased presence AME. To determine effect biosynthetic pathway, we examined expression pr...
