| Abstract |
Garlic and its extracts have been widely recognized as agents for prevention and treatment of cardiovascular and other metabolic diseases. In this study: raw, aqueous extract and oil extract for one of some new types derived from Spanish garlic (Kaha 34) were given daily to normal rats for 4 week. The local strain of garlic was used for comparison. The serum level of total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, LDL-cholesterol, total lipids, glucose, total antioxidant capacity and some other biochemical parameters were measured. The results indicated that Spanish garlic (Kaha 34) showed the higher increase in total antioxidant potential determined by DPPH. In serum analysis, HDL-cholesterol showed significant increase in all treatments compared to the control group. The group fed on oil extract of local garlic, paste and aqueous extract of Spanish garlic showed significant decrease in LDL-cholesterol by 18.1, 21.1 and 22.2 % respectively. Rats receiving Spanish garlic and its extracts showed also a significant reduction in glucose, while the higher reduction (31.8 %) was observed in oil extract group of local garlic. The aqueous extract group of local garlic caused significant increase in serum antioxidant capacity (23.4 %). The aqueous extract group of Spanish garlic would be preferred, as it reduced the total cholesterol, LDL, glucose, AST, ALT, total lipids and creatinine by 7.2, 22.2, 23.2, 17.9, 15.2, 8.8 and 8.7 % respectively.
