Presentation Transcript

  1. Aim of the study: Effects of garlic on lipid metabolism and atherosclerosis • Effects on lipid levels and lipid metabolism under more human-like conditions. • Lipid levels, cholesterol synthesis and cholesterol absorption. • Effects on fast atherosclerosis development and other processes that might be related with atherosclerosis. • Inflammation, blood pressure, platelet activation and atherosclerosis analysis.

  2. APOE*3-Leiden transgenic mouse as a model for hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis studies • Transgenic mice carrying a mutant form of human APOE*3 gene. • Dominant dysfunctional APOE*3-Leiden results in defect in chylomicron/ VLDL clearance and more human-like lipoprotein profile. • Highly responsive to feeding cholesterol-rich diets. • Develops atherosclerosis varying from fatty streaks to more human-like complicated lesions.

  3. Effect of garlic on lipid metabolism and atherosclerosis in APOE*3-Leiden mice: Selection of compounds • Lichtwer LI111 garlic powder: Reference dry garlic powder. • Morado de Cuenca 200 (Mor200): Garlic powder rich in organic sulfur-containing compounds. • Diallyl disulfide (DADS): Isolated garlic compound rich in sulfur. • Allicin: Reference isolated garlic compound reported to result in 43% reduction of fatty streaks in C57Black/6 mice (D. Abramovitz et al., Coronary Artery Disease, 1999, 10: 515-519)

  9. Effect of garlic powders on atherosclerosis under more human-like conditions: Groups selection • Control • Primador FRANCE 2001: 0.64 g/kg b.w. of dry garlic powder with low sulphur content. • Primador FRANCE 2001: 6.4 g/kg b.w. of dry garlic powder with high sulphur content. • Kyolic (positive control): 200 mg/kg b.w. of powder rich in S-allylcysteine reported to result in 64% reduction of fatty streaks in New Zealand white rabbits.
