“…The findings for the antioxidative effects of shallot aqueous extracts reveal that in the ribose degradation assay all three shallot aqueous extracts appear to increase the amount of the Meta-analysis has shown that shallot reduces the risk of gastric cancer, but only if a large amount of shallot is consumed [11]. The solubility and bioavailability of exemestane, an irreversible aromatase inhibitor, has been found to greatly improve in powder and tablet form [20], so the beneficial effects of shallot powders prepared using these protocols are increased if the shallot powder is dissolved in water or other types of solvents.…”

“…The acceleration of gastric carcinogenesis by sodium chloride may be mediated by • OH [10]. Moreover, in a meta-analysis, consumption of large amounts of allium vegetables (onions, garlic, shallot) has recently been shown to reduce the risk of gastric cancer [11], but there is no credible evidence to support a relationship between garlic intake and a reduced risk of gastric, breast, lung or endometrial cancer [12]. Extracts of shallot have previously been shown to scavenge positively charged radical species, 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid), ABTS…”

In order to preserve the nutrients in shallots, after harvest, various protocols, including incubation, drying or lyophilization of the shallot are developed in this study. Using aqueous extracts of ground shallot powders, this study examines the antioxidative properties of shallots on the formation of hydroxyl radical species (• OH) generated via a Fenton-type reaction. A ribose degradation assay shows that all aqueous extracts of shallot prepared in this study exhibit enhanced levels of • OH, suggesting that processed shallot, like strong reductants such as ascorbate, has a strong reducing power, which converts Fe 3+ to Fe 2+ in a Fenton's reaction and increases the levels of

“…Moreover, in the analysis on supplements we used a random-effects model and excluded data from past use of garlic supplements (34) . Recently, two meta-analyses have been published showing the effects of garlic intake on gastric (39) and prostate cancer risk (40) . Similarly to our results, a preventive effect of garlic on gastric cancer was observed in three hospital-based case-control studies (OR = 0·57; 95 % CI 0·34, 0·80) and in eight population-based case-control studies (OR = 0·52; 95 % CI 0·37, 0·67), while one cohort study showed an increased risk (OR = 1·28; 95 % CI 0·45, 3·66) (39) .…”

Objective: Colorectal cancer shows large incidence variations worldwide that have been attributed to different dietary factors. We conducted a meta-analysis on the relationship between garlic consumption and colorectal cancer risk. Design: We systematically reviewed publications obtained by searching ISI Web of Knowledge, MEDLINE and EMBASE literature databases. We extracted the risk estimate of the highest and the lowest reported categories of intake from each study and conducted meta-analysis using a random-effects model. Results: The pooled analysis of all fourteen studies, seven cohort and seven casecontrol, indicated that garlic consumption was not associated with colorectal cancer risk (OR = 0·93; 95 % CI 0·82, 1·06, P = 0·281; I 2 = 83·6 %, P ≤ 0·001). Separate analyses on the basis of cancer sites and sex also revealed no statistically significant effects on cancer risk. However, when separately analysed on the basis of study type, we found that garlic was associated with an approximately 37 % reduction in colorectal cancer risk in the case-control studies (combined risk estimate = 0·63, 95 % CI 0·48, 0·82, P = 0·001; I 2 = 75·6 %, P ≤ 0·001). Conclusions: Our results suggest that consumption of garlic is not associated with a reduced colorectal cancer risk. Further investigations are necessary to clarify the discrepancy between results obtained from different types of epidemiological studies.

Our previous study suggested that S-allylcysteine (SAC) inhibits the proliferation of the human cervical cancer cell line, HeLa, at least in part through the induction of apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. To further analyze the specific molecular mechanism(s) by which SAC mediates its antiproliferative effects, this study examined the role of SAC in regulating the protein expression of initiator caspase (caspase-9), effector caspases (caspase-3 and caspase-7), and poly-ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) in HeLa. Western blot analysis showed that when cells were treated with 50 mM SAC for 48 hr, the expression of procaspase-3, -7, and -9 and PARP was reduced by 94%, 38%, 95%, and 64%, respectively, as compared to the untreated control. In contrast, the expression of caspase-3, -7, and -9 and cleaved-PARP was markedly increased by SAC treatment. The SAC-mediated changes in the expression of these proteins were correlated with the concomitant inhibition of cellular proliferation by SAC. The cell proliferation assay showed that HeLa treatment with more than 20 mM SAC for 6-48 hr resulted in both concentration-and time-dependent inhibition of cellular proliferation. These results indicate that the SAC-induced antiproliferative effect in HeLa may be mediated at least in part through the activation of caspase-9, followed by the activation of caspase-3 and caspase-7 as well as the inactivation of PARP, thus leading to cellular apoptosis.
