Telomere damage response and low-grade inflammation.
PMID: Adv Exp Med Biol. 2017 ;1024:213-224. PMID: 28921472 Abstract Title: Telomere Damage Response and Low-Grade Inflammation. Abstract: Telomeres at the ends of chromosomes safeguard genome integrity and stability in human nucleated cells. However, telomere repeats shed off during cell proliferation and other stress responses. Our recent studies show that telomere attrition induces not only …

Aged garlic extract and S-allylcysteine increase the GLUT3 and GCLC expression levels in cerebral ischemia.
PMID: Adv Clin Exp Med. 2019 Dec ;28(12):1609-1614. PMID: 31851788 Abstract Title: Aged garlic extract and S-allylcysteine increase the GLUT3 and GCLC expression levels in cerebral ischemia. Abstract: BACKGROUND: During cerebral ischemia, energy restoration through the regulation of glucose transporters and antioxidant defense mechanisms is essential to maintain cell viability. Antioxidant therapy has been considered …

These results suggest that garlic oil reverses cisplatin-induced hepatorenal damage.
PMID: Sci Total Environ. 2020 Mar 25 ;710:136338. Epub 2019 Dec 28. PMID: 31923684 Abstract Title: Impact of garlic (Allium sativum) oil on cisplatin-induced hepatorenal biochemical and histopathological alterations in rats. Abstract: Cisplatin (cis-diamminedichloridoplatinum II [CDDP]) is a chemotherapeutic agent used for treating different cancers types. However, its usage is limited because it induces harmful …
Effect of garlic’s active constituents in inflammation, obesity and cardiovascular disease.
PMID: Curr Hypertens Rep. 2020 Jan 10 ;22(1):6. Epub 2020 Jan 10. PMID: 31925548 Abstract Title: Effect of Garlic's Active Constituents in Inflammation, Obesity and Cardiovascular Disease. Abstract: PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Several studies have attributed garlic's beneficial properties to its high content of organosulfur compounds (OSCs). Here, we summarized recent studies published and some own …
Possible role of garlic oil in ameliorating renal injury after liver ischemia/reperfusion.
PMID: J Physiol Pharmacol. 2019 Oct ;70(5). Epub 2020 Jan 30. PMID: 32009629 Abstract Title: Possible role of garlic oil in ameliorating renal injury after liver ischemia/reperfusion in rats. Abstract: Acute liver failure induces renal injury by triggering inflammation and oxidative stress. The heme oxygenase system has a preventive role against reperfusion injury, while garlic …

PMID: Exp Ther Med. 2020 Feb ;19(2):1457-1461. Epub 2019 Dec 27. PMID: 32010322 Abstract Title: Aged garlic extract reduces low attenuation plaque in coronary arteries of patients with diabetes: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Abstract: Several previous studies have demonstrated that aged garlic extract (AGE) inhibits the progression of coronary artery calcification and non-calcified plaque …
Mechanisms underlying the attenuation of chronic inflammatory diseases by aged garlic extract: Involvement of the activation of AMP-activated protein kinase.
PMID: Exp Ther Med. 2020 Feb ;19(2):1462-1467. Epub 2019 Dec 27. PMID: 32010323 Abstract Title: Mechanisms underlying the attenuation of chronic inflammatory diseases by aged garlic extract: Involvement of the activation of AMP-activated protein kinase. Abstract: AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is an ubiquitously expressed serine/threonine kinase and an important regulator of energy metabolism. The decreased …
Aged garlic extract reduces left ventricular myocardial mass in patients with diabetes.
PMID: Exp Ther Med. 2020 Feb ;19(2):1468-1471. Epub 2019 Dec 27. PMID: 32010324 Abstract Title: Aged garlic extract reduces left ventricular myocardial mass in patients with diabetes: A prospective randomized controlled double-blind study. Abstract: Increased left ventricular myocardial mass (LVM) is a well known prognostic marker of poor cardiac outcomes. Decreases in LVM have been …
