Organosulfur compounds from alliaceae in the prevention of human pathologies

“…Pharmacologic studies of SAC and SAMC, were proposed to be responsible in part for scavenging of active oxygen species [20,21], inhibition of lipid peroxidation [22] and cancer prevention [23][24][25][26]. AGE and SAC protect vascular endothelial cells (EC) from H 2 O 2induced injury [11], inhibit Cu 2+ -induced LDL oxidation [14], modulates the glutathione (GSH) redox cycle, inhibits NFk-B activation in human T cells [15] and prevent oxidantinduced dense-body formation in sickle red blood cells [37].…”
