This study was done to observe the short tens effect of fresh garlic on different lipid profiles, blood glucose, blood pressure (BP), body weight and haemoglobin (11b) concentration in healthy but overweight (average weight 88.89 kg) adult ( both male and female). Fresh garlic, one clove (average wt. 4 to 6 gm), was taken everyday with night meal by the volunteers for six weeks. The volunteers were mostly students and a few of them were office staff Total number of volunteers were 25. Administration of garlic significantly lowered cholesterol (p<61.001) and low density lipoprotein (p<0.05), but there was no effect on BP, body weight and IIb concentration. Garlic administration reduced the level of blood glucose and triglyceride (TG) to some extent but they were not statistically significant.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
