Abstract
Adult male Swiss albino mice were administered 74 kBq g-1 body weight of 45Ca in the presence and absence of garlic unsaturated oils, and the changes in total lipids, triglycerides, phospholipids and free fatty acids contents of liver were observed at various intervals from 1 to 14 days post-treatment. The results obtained indicate that garlic oils prevented rapid increase in hepatic total lipids, triglycerides and phospholipids and decrease in free fatty acids induced by radiocalcium and the values reached normal values earlier in garlic treated animals than in irradiated animals. Possible mechanism underlying the protective action of garlic oils is reported.
