diallyl tetrasulfide/ニンニク

The essential oils of garlic and onion and their constituent sulfides with three or more sulfur atoms were potent inhibitors of yeast growth. The minimum inhibitory concentrations of garlic oil, onion oil, diallyl trisulfide, diallyl tetrasulfide, and dimethyl trisulfide for all the yeasts tested

Cadmium (Cd) is an environmental and industrial pollutant that affects various organs in humans and animals. A body of evidence has accumulated implicating the free radical generation with subsequent oxidative stress in the biochemical and molecular mechanisms of Cd toxicity. Since kidney is the

Cadmium (Cd) is a neurotoxic metal, which induces oxidative stress and membrane disturbances in nerve system. The garlic compound diallyl tetrasulfide (DTS) has the cytoprotective and antioxidant activity against Cd induced toxicity. The present study was carried out to investigate the efficacy of

Cadmium (Cd)-induced oxidative damage is the most serious problem that leads to reproductive system failure in both human and animals. Our previous studies indicate that diallyl tetrasulfide (DTS) from garlic has the cytoprotective and antioxidant activity against Cd-induced toxicity in vivo and in

The protective efficacy of diallyl tetrasulfide (DTS) from garlic on liver injury induced by cadmium (Cd) was investigated. In this study, Cd (3 mg/kg body weight) was administered subcutaneously for 3 weeks to induce toxicity. DTS was administered orally (10, 20 and 40 mg/kg body weight) for 3

Vibrio cholera is a major foodborne pathogen in Thailand. It is present in raw and lightly cooked foods, and it causes cholera. Natural products inhibiting it can be used to improve the safety of foods. In this study, elephant garlic oil was studied for its major diallyl sulfide content and its

Oxidative stress and mitochondrial injury has been implicated in cadmium-induced apoptosis. In this study, we examined the protective effect of diallyl tetrasulfide from garlic on cadmium induced oxidative stress and apoptosis in vero cells. Exposure of vero cells to cadmium (10 microM) for 18 h

Lipoprotein abnormalities disrupt the levels of serum and cellular lipid, which accounts for the genesis of cardiovascular diseases. Cadmium (Cd) exposure is associated with a number of distinct pathological changes including dyslipidemia. Garlic and its organosulfur compounds seem to hold promise

Cadmium (Cd) induces extensive membrane damage that contributes to the cytotoxic effect of Cd. We studied the effect of diallyl tetrasulfide (DTS) from garlic on Cd-induced changes in lipid peroxidation and membrane-bound enzymes in liver, kidney, and testis of rats. Cadmium exposure (3 mg/kg body

BACKGROUND Diallyl mono- and polysulfanes from garlic are known to induce an adaptive cell response and the formation of antioxidants in cancer cells. In the case of a severe ER stress and a failure in the response, cancer cells eventually go into apoptosis. Only little is known about the response

Diallyl sulfides, organosulfur compounds isolated from garlic (Allium sativum L.), selectively inhibit the activities of mammalian family X DNA polymerases (pols), such as pol β, pol λ and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT), in vitro. The purified fraction (i.e., Sample-A) consisted of

In our screening program for insecticidal activity of the essential oils/extracts derived from some Chinese medicinal herbs and spices, garlic (Allium sativum L.) essential oil was found to possess strong insecticidal activity against overwintering adults of Cacopsylla chinensis Yang et Li

Garlic-derived organosulfur compounds including diallyl polysulfides are well known for various health-beneficial properties and recent reports even point to a potential role of diallyl polysulfides as chemopreventive and therapeutic agents in cancer treatment due to their selective

Mycobacterium tuberculosis remains one of the world's deadliest killers, with an annual death rate of ∼1.5 million. The medicinal effects of garlic have been well documented, and natural products have been shown to have antimycobacterial activity. The current study evaluated the efficacy of six

This study evaluated the insecticidal activity of garlic, Allium sativum Linnaeus (Amaryllidaceae) essential oil and their principal constituents on Tenebrio molitor. Garlic essential oil, diallyl disulfide, and diallyl sulfide oil were used to compare the lethal and repellent effects on larvae,
