Assessment of the Impact of Garlic in Heart-related Diseases
Keywords:
Garlic, Heart-related diseases, animal experiment, clinical trialAbstract
Atherosclerosis, hyperlipidemia, thrombosis, hypertension, and diabetes are just a few of the metabolic illnesses that garlic and its derivatives have been shown to prevent and treat. Experimental investigations on the effectiveness of garlic in heart-related disorders were more encouraging, which led to the initiation of multiple clinical trials. The effectiveness of garlic, particularly its cholesterol-lowering impact, has recently come under scrutiny despite the fact that numerous clinical investigations have demonstrated a favorable effect of garlic on practically all of the cardiovascular disorders listed above. As the least expensive method of preventing heart-related disease, using garlic properly and reaping its full benefits is a significant problem for scientists around the world. This review has made an effort to discuss the mechanisms of such therapeutic effects of garlic and to bridge the gap between experimental and clinical investigation.
