methyl sulfide/allium

Progress in establishing systemic pharmacological effects for fresh, crushed garlic (Allium sativum L) in humans has been hindered by (1) the inability to measure allicin bioavailability, (2) lack of direct evidence that allicin has significant systemic activity at doses of garlic normally consumed,

Previous studies evidenced that garlic extracts and/or garlic components were able to prevent against chemically induced tumors or acute toxic effects of chemicals (e.g. CCl4 induced liver injury). The chemopreventive potential of garlic has been attributed to the presence in it of several bioactive

Decomposition products of ingested garlic are to a certain extent excreted via the lungs. If the supposed health-supporting capacities associated with garlic extend to these exhaled sulfurous compounds, they could have an effect on the course of pneumonia. In this study, the garlic-derived volatile

Diallyl disulfide (DADS) and allyl methyl sulfide (AMS) have been known as a metabolic product of sulfur-containing foods, typically garlic. The odour of such organosulfur compounds following garlic ingestion is often considered as an unpleasant element. Although previous studies have identified the

Therapeutic approaches based on dietary compounds obtained from food products to handle diabetes involving oxidative stress and inflammation. Garlic is a common spice and has a long history as a folk remedy. Allyl methyl sulfide (AMS) is a potential garlic-derived organosulfur compound displaying a

Diabetes is a major noncommunicable life-threatening chronic and pervasive condition that is consuming the world health in a petrifying rate. The circulatory system is one of the major sources of hyperglycemia-induced ROS generation. Historically, garlic has been revered as part of a healthful diet.

OBJECTIVE We investigated the inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production by the garlic oil derivatives, diallyl sulfide (DAS), diallyl disulfide (DADS), and allyl methyl sulfide (AMS), in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated RAW 264.7 cells. METHODS Cells were treated with

The anticarcinogenic activities of regular (soil-grown) garlic and selenium-enriched garlic (cultivated in the greenhouse) were evaluated using the 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene-(DMBA) induced mammary tumor model in rats. In Experiment 1, milled regular garlic powder was added to the basal AIN-76A

Ten organosulfur compounds from garlic and onions were studied for their modifying effects on diethylnitrosamine-induced neoplasia of liver in male F344 rats using the medium-term bioassay system of Ito based on the two-step model of hepatocarcinogenesis. Carcinogenic potential was scored by

Maternal garlic intake during pregnancy and the breastfeeding period has been reported to be associated with the potential of modulating later garlic acceptance in infants. However, the metabolism of garlic constituents in humans and their elimination and potential excretion into human milk are not

The odor of human breast milk after ingestion of raw garlic at food-relevant concentrations by breastfeeding mothers was investigated for the first time chemo-analytically using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry/olfactometry (GC-MS/O), as well as sensorially using a trained human sensory panel.

In many countries, the leaves of Allium ursinum L. (Liliaceae) are a popular substitute for garlic and, for centuries, the herb has been taken internally to treat an array of medical conditions. Herein, we report the chemical composition of 12 different A. ursinum essential-oil samples (five

The consumption of garlic (Allium sativum) is widely known to (negatively) impact body odor, in particular breath and sweat, but also urine. Despite this common phenomenon, the underlying processes in the body that lead to the malodor are not yet fully understood. In previous studies we

Epidemiologic studies show an inverse correlation between garlic consumption and progression of cardiovascular disease. However, the molecular basis for the beneficial effect of garlic on the heart is not known. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to (1) investigate the effect of raw

Caffeoyl quinic acid (CQA) derivatives in ku-ding-cha, mate, coffee, and related plants were determined by HPLC. One ku-ding-cha contained a large amount of 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid (3,5-diCQA, 10.6% in dry weight) as well as 3-CQA (1.7%), 4-CQA (1.1%), 5-CQA (6.3%), 3,4-diCQA (1.8%), and 4,5-diCQA
