stomach diseases/allium

Since the discovery of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection as the major cause of gastroduodenal disorders including acute and chronic gastritis, gastroduodenal ulcer, chronic atrophic gastritis, and gastric cancer almost three decades ago, the possibility of preventing these clinical diseases

Allicin and allyl-methyl plus methyl-allyl thiosulfinate from acetonic garlic extracts (AGE) have been isolated by high-performance liquid chromatography. These compounds have shown inhibition of the in vitro growth of Helicobacter pylori (Hp), the bacterium responsible for serious gastric diseases

OBJECTIVE Stomach cancer is the second common cause of death in Lithuania and most countries of the world. Nevertheless, there were no reports of epidemiological studies on stomach cancer in Lithuania. Therefore, a hospital-based case-control study has been carried out in order to assess the

Allicin, the main active principle related to Allium sativum chemistry, is considered to be responsible for the bacteriostatic properties of garlic. The work described here has demonstrated the direct implication of the allicin present in solvent-free garlic extracts obtained with ethanol (ethanolic

Hydrogen sulfide, once considered as toxic gas, is now recognized as an important biological mediator. The deficiency of hydrogen sulfide could lead to various pathological changes, such as arterial and pulmonary hypertension, Alzheimer's disease, gastric mucosal injury and liver cirrhosis. However,

Helicobacter pylori (Hp) is the bacterium responsible for serious gastric diseases such as ulcers and cancer. The work described here involved the study of the inhibitory power of Allium sativum extracts against the in vitro growth of Hp (Hp ivg). We used purple garlic of the "Las Pedroñeras"

More than 50% of the world population is infected with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). The bacterium highly links to peptic ulcer diseases and duodenal ulcer, which was classified as a group I carcinogen in 1994 by the WHO. The pathogenesis of H. pylori is contributed by its virulence factors
