Women with estrogen deficiency are at the risk of suffering from neurological symptoms such as memory impairment. In the present study, we investigated the effect of garlic, Allium sativum L. (Asparagales: Amaryllidaceae), treated with subcritical water on memory impairment in ovariectomized (OVX) rats. OVX rats were administered garlic powder for 84 d. Hippocampus-dependent spatial memory was assessed using the Morris water maze test. Escape latency of the OVX rats increased compared with that of sham-operated rats. The prolonged escape latency of the OVX rats decreased to the level of that of sham-operated rats upon the administration of garlic powder (0.5% in feed). The weights of the body, uterus, and brain were not affected by the garlic powder administration. These results suggest that garlic powder treated with subcritical water mitigates memory impairment in OVX rats.

This study investigated the effects of supplementing drinking water with fermented vegetable extract on growth performance, immune response, antioxidant activity, and hematological parameters in broiler chickens. A total of 240 one-day-old Cobb-500 broiler chicks were randomly allocated into four treatment groups, each comprising three replicates of 20 birds. The experimental groups were as follows: Group A (control, no extract), Group B (0.

Research Background: Black garlic has been reported to have several health-promoting properties compared to fresh, raw garlic. The enzyme alliinase, which converts alliin to allicin, is deactivated at moderately high temperature, thus stripping away the typical pungent odour of fresh garlic during fermentation and rendering black garlic devoid of the typical garlic-like smell. To date, the antimicrobial activity of alliin-rich extract obtained from black garlic powder has not been reported.

Background: According to evidence, medicinal plants such as thyme, rosemary, and fenugreek were beneficial for human health. Recently, these plants showed a great impact in animal health, particularly in poultry.
Objectives: To map the body of literature on the impact of medicinal plants on poultry health, including growth performance, gut microbiota, and mortality.

Integrating Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) bio-actives in 3D-printed scaffolds combines ancient pharmacology with advanced additive manufacturing strategies for bone repair, wound healing, and drug delivery. This review highlights Carthamus tinctorius for cranial angiogenesis, Radix Dipsaci for fracture healing, Pearl powder for bone-mimicking mineralization, and ginger-garlic extract-loaded osteogenic-antibacterial implant. Tailored drug releases (21 days for Nuciferine and 56 days for Berberine) and Pyritum-enhanced β-TCP scaffolds showing spatial engineering by doubling compressive strength.

We report the first syntheses-from commercially available 3-chloro-2-fluoroprop-1-ene ()-of key garlic-derived compounds containing sp-fluorine. We also report synthesis of fluoro-5,6-dihydrothiopyrans by trapping 2-fluorothioacrolein (). Thus, difluoroallicin (, -(2-fluoro-2-propenyl) 2-fluoroprop-2-ene-1-sulfinothioate) is prepared by peracid oxidation of 1,2-bis(2-fluoro-2-propenyl)disulfane ().
