Antiperoxide effects of S-allyl cysteine sulphoxide isolated from Allium sativum Linn and gugulipid in cholesterol diet fed rats. Indian Journal of Experimental Biology. 1995 May; 33(5): 337-41http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/59969Cholesterol containing diet significantly increased not only the body weight, but also the weight of liver and adipose tissue of rats. This is accompanied by a significant increase in blood lipids, atherogenic index and lipid peroxidation and a significant decrease in reduced glutathione level, superoxide dismutase and catalase activities in tissues. Treatment with S-allyl cysteine sulphoxide reverses the deleterious effects of cholesterol diet significantly and almost as effectively as gugulipid.engAllium --chemistryAnimalsAntilipemic Agents --pharmacologyCholesterol, Dietary --pharmacologyCommiphoraCysteine --analogs & derivativesLipid Peroxidation --drug effectsMalePlant Extracts --pharmacologyPlant GumsRatsRats, Sprague-DawleyJournal Article
