ABSTRACT
Ghodsi V, Baghshani H., Effects of
dietary garlic powder supplementation on circulating biochemical and
oxidant/antioxidant profile in rats, Onl J Vet Res., 17
(5): 270-279, 2013. Effect of a 42 day, 5% dietary garlic supplement on rat (6)
blood oxidative stress biomarkers and biochemistry is reported. Results were compared
with 6 control rats not given supplement. The supplement had no effect on glucose,
cholesterol, total protein, albumin, creatinine, urea, uric acid, total
bilirubin, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline
phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, malondialdehyde or
protein carbonyl levels. However ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP) and
glutathione (GSH) increased and triglyceride concentrations were reduced. Five percent dietary garlic powder
supplementation in rats may have some effect on non-enzymatic antioxidant
status but does not appear to induce adverse effects.
