oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (ldl) has been strongly suggested as a key factor in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. thus, the inclusion of some anti-oxidant compounds in daily dietary food stuff may inhibit the production of oxidized ldl and may decrease both the development and the progression of atherosclerosis. the present work investigated the inhibitory effects of extract of all...

Oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) has been strongly suggested as a key factor in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Thus, the inclusion of some anti-oxidant compounds in daily dietary food stuff may inhibit the production of oxidized LDL and may decrease both the development and the progression of atherosclerosis. The present work investigated the inhibitory effects of extract of Al...

Plants of the Allium genus produce sulphur compounds that give them a characteristic (alliaceous) flavour and mediate for their medicinal use. In this study, the chemical composition and antimicrobial properties of Allium cepa red cv. and A. sativum in the context of three different drying processes were assessed using metabolomics. Bulbs were dried using either microwave, air drying, or freeze...

Black garlic (BG) is a processed garlic product prepared by heat treatment of whole garlic bulbs (Allium sativum L.) at high temperature under high humidity for several days, resulting in black cloves with a sweet taste. BG has recently been introduced to the Korean market as a product beneficial to health. To clarify how BG changes during the 35 day aging period, the physicochemical characteri...

Objective Intimal hyperplasia is associated with graft failure and vascular sutures in the first year after surgery and in postangioplasty restenosis. Allium sativum (common garlic) lowers cholesterol and has antioxidant effects; it also has antiplatelet and antitumor properties and, therefore, has great potential to reduce or inhibit intimal hyperplasia of the arteries. Our objective is to det...

Extracts of some spices have been reported to play a contributory role in enhancing immune function. We evaluated and compared the effect(s) of single and combined oral administration of fresh aqueous onion (Allium cepa) and garlic (Allium sativum) extracts at different concentrations on some immunological determinants in rats. CD₄ cells of the rats were estimated using Partec flow cytometric t...

People use Garlic as a spice / pickles. Garlic contains medicinally active compounds like Alliin/Allicin, Di-allyl Disulfide, 2-vinyl-4H-1, 3-dithiin, Ajoene. Alliin /Allicin is chole...

objective(s): trichophyton rubrum (t. rubrum) is one of the most common dermatophytes worldwide. this fungus invaded skin appendages of humans and animals. recently, resistance to antifungal drugs as well as appearance of side effects due to indication of these kinds of antibiotics has been reported. besides, using some plant extracts have been indicated in herbal medicine as an alternative tre...

Six essential oils (EOs) from the Alliaceae family, namely garlic (Allium sativum), onion (Allium cepa), leek (Allium porrum), Chinese chive (Allium tuberosum), shallot (Allium ascalonicum) and chive (Allium schoenoprasum) were characterized by GC and GC-MS and evaluated for their functional food properties. Antibacterial properties were tested on five food-borne pathogens: Two Gram-positive St...

The interaction with iodine metabolism following ingestion of Allium cepa (onion) and Allium sativum (garlic) by albino Wistar rats have been studied. The determination of the effect of the oral administration of onion and garlic extract on thyroid hormones (triidothyronine,T3, thyroxine,T4 were studied. The mean values of triiodothyronine (T3) for the experimental animals were 1.23 ± 0.09ng/ml...
