Indications
Garlicapap is indicated in Hyperlipidemia, Atherosclerosis, Mild Hypertension
Description
The medicinal parts are the whole fresh bulb, the dried bulb and the oil of Garlicap. Garlicap contains alliin and its transformation products and sulfur containing essential oil. Garlicapap is not present in fresh or dried garlic bulbs, instead the oil is produced by converting water-soluble thiosulfinates to oil-soluble sulfides via steam distillation. Central to Southern Asia is considered the region of origin. Garlicap has been harvested in September and October when the leaves and bulbs are dry. In the United States and Western Europe, garlic is one of the most popular substances used to reduce various risks associated with cardiovascular disease. Garlicap preparations have been one of the top-selling herbal supplements in the U.S. market for many years.
Pharmacology
Garlic reduces total cholesterol (TC), serum triglycerides (TG) and elevates high density lipoproteins (HDL). It prevents platelet aggregation and thrombus formation, stimulates fibrinolysis, prolongs clotting time, reduces low density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation. It also reduces systolic and diastolic blood pressure and attenuates age and blood pressure related increases in aortic stiffness and reduces blood glucose levels. Steroid saponins interfere with the absorption of total and LDL cholesterol from the intestinal lumen, thereby reducing plasma cholesterol level without adversely affecting HDL levels. Increases catabolism of fatty acid-containing lipids, especially triglycerides. Enhances palmitate-induced inhibition of cholesterol biosynthesis. Inhibits cholesterol biosynthesis at the level of b-hydroxy-b-methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase. The gamma-glutamylcysteines are the compounds in garlic that may lower blood pressure, as indicated by their ability to inhibit angiotensin-converting enzyme in-vitro. Garlic modulates the production and function of both endothelium derived relaxing and constricting factors and this may contribute to its protective effect against hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction. Garlic elicits nitric-oxide-dependent relaxation in pulmonary arteries. It increases nitric oxide through activation of nitric oxide synthase activity. Fructans can inhibit adenosine deaminase in isolated cells, thus increasing adenosine and its associated blood vessel dilatory activity
