Skeletal muscle injuries with subsequent bleeding is common cause of death on both sports and battle grounds. Application and removal of tourniquet is fast intervention to control hemorrhage resulting ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury. The effect of IR in skeletal muscle is far more severe compared to other body tissues because of the devastating systemic complication. Garlic has beneficial effects in IR of various organs. However, using garlic in IR of skeletal muscle is deficient Goals: To investigate the possible protective effect of garlic in rat model of hind limb IR and its possible mechanisms of action.Fifty adult male rats divided into five groups; C: control, IR: ischemia/reperfusion group subjected to 2 hours ischemia followed by 2 hours reperfusion (2/2 hr IR) and three garlic treated groups; G1+IR: 24 hr before I/R, G2+IR: 30 min before IR and G3+IR: immediately before reperfusion. We measured wet to dry weight ratio (W/D) of gastrocnemius muscle, serum creatine kinase (CK), Interleukin 1β (IL-1β), Interleukin-10 (IL-10), gastrocnemius caspase-3 and desmin expression and histopathological damage score.Garlic treatment caused significant decrease in W/D, serum CK, IL-1β, caspase-3 expression and significant increase in IL-10 as well as desmin expression when compared to IR group. Garlic ameliorated IR-induced histopathological damage and significantly reduced the apoptosis score. Better results obtained with earlier administration before IR.Garlic protected against IR-induced skeletal muscle damage through reducing inflammation, apoptosis score and elevating desmin expression. We recommend the earlier use of garlic as prophylactic natural medicine in skeletal muscle IR.
