Abstract | ||||
Background: with precisely controlled degrees of moisture and heat the color of raw garlic turn black. Black garlic have a strong role in preventing cancer. Also, low doses of γ-radiation exposure induce a positive impact on tumor regression and immune response. Methodology: the present study evaluates the leverages of black garlic extract polyphenols (BGE) and/or low doses of γ-irradiation against Ehrlich (Eh) carcinoma-bearing mice. Results: the in-vitro cytotoxic effect test showed that, BGE (60 µg / ml) produced the death of 100% of Ehrlich Ascites Carcinoma (EAC) cells and 30% of cells appeared to burst. Subcutaneous transplantation of 2.5x106 EAC cells in female mice produced a solid Eh carcinoma. Via gavages 15 consecutive treatments of BGE (200mg/kg. b.w./day) and the subject of experimental animals to γ-radiation (0.25Gy x 2/ week) for two weeks from the 7th day of tumor inoculation recording that BGE and/or γ-radiation reduced tumor size significantly and markedly amended most alterations in biochemical parameters associated with Eh carcinoma inoculation. Conclusion: the BGE gavages to mice bearing Eh carcinoma, exhibited an antitumor effect reflected by reducing tumor size, inhibiting systemic inflammation, and augmenting the antioxidant defense system in Eh carcinoma-bearing mice. | ||||
