Abstract:Objectives:
The garlic and its principle sulfur compound, diallyl disulfide (DADS), have been claimed to have hypoglycemic activity and are helpful in achieving glycemic control in diabetes mellitus. The exact uric acid mechanism about the DADS controls on glucose level in diabetes mellitus is not clearly established though it is known that DADS does influence insulin action probably by improving insulin half-life. A study was undertaken to examine the role of DADS on purine metabolism and their metabolites in… Show more
“…DADS has been reported to improve lipid metabolism by blocking the expression of PCSK9 and enhancing the uptake of low-density lipoprotein through the targeting of PI3K/AKT-SREBP2 signaling [ 48 ]. DADS has also been shown to have hypoglycemic activity as it regulates purine metabolism by reducing the activity of xanthine oxidase and adenosine deaminase in diabetic rats [ 49 ]. …”
