  • Title: Effect of garlic supplementation to cholesterol-rich diet on development of atherosclerosis in rabbits.
    Author: Mirhadi SA, Singh S, Gupta PP.
    Journal: Indian J Exp Biol; 1991 Feb; 29(2):162-8. PubMed ID: 1869301.
    Abstract:
    Feeding of cholesterol-rich diet in male rabbits resulted in increased levels of cholesterol in plasma, aorta and liver and total lipids, phospholipids, free fatty acids in aorta and liver. Garlic supplementation to this diet suppressed these effects but their levels were still higher as compared to control rabbits. The plasma fibrinolytic activity which was decreased on cholesterol feeding was considerably increased when this diet was supplemented with garlic. There was increase in the activity of phospholipase in the cell-free supernatant of aorta and liver and decrease in the activity of cell-free supernatant NADH dehydrogenase of aorta when atherogenic diet was supplemented with garlic. Histopathological studies of aorta, liver and heart supported biochemical studies and indicated retardative effect of garlic on the development of atherosclerosis.
