Garlic oil
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Garlic oil is an orally effective anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer agent. Garlic oil inhibits the activation of NF-κB, NFκB2 and NLRP3 inflammasome, and induces the expression of GSTA1, HO-1 and NQO-1. Garlic oil reduces the Bcl-2/Bax protein ratio and activates NNK-induced apoptosis (apoptosis) in lung tissues. Garlic oil attenuates NNK-induced apoptosis in MRC-5 cells and reduces excessive ROS production. Garlic oil alleviates pyroptosis (pyroptosis) and exerts a protective effect against acute lung injury in mice. Garlic oil inhibits lung tumorigenesis in mice and improves small intestinal motility in rats with type 2 diabetes. Garlic oil can be used in research related to acute lung injury, lung cancer, peptic ulcer, type 2 diabetes and hypertension.

Biological Activity
Garlic oil (1-4 μg/mL; 48 h) dose-dependently reverses the decrease in MRC-5 cell viability induced by NNK (HY-126477)[2].
Garlic oil (2 μg/mL; 48 h) significantly reduces NNK-induced apoptosis in MRC-5 cells[2].
Garlic oil (48 h) significantly reduces NNK-induced excessive ROS production in MRC-5 cells, reverses GSH depletion, protects cells against NNK-induced DNA strand breaks and loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, and reduces endoplasmic reticulum stress[2].

Garlic oil (5 mL/kg/day; oral administration; once daily for consecutive 2 weeks) improves intestinal motility, alleviates oxidative stress, reduces blood glucose levels and improves insulin resistance, reverses histological damage, and increases BMI and Lee index in female Wistar rats with experimental type 2 diabetes[4].
Garlic oil (5 mL/kg/day; p.o.; daily administration for 2 consecutive weeks) reduces intestinal contractility and motility index in healthy female Wistar rats, increases BMI, Lee index and waist circumference, enhances oxidative stress levels in the duodenum, and decreases GSH-Px activity in the jejunum, but exerts no effect on glycemic control[4].
