PY - 2011 DA - 2011/07/27 TI - Garlic improves insulin sensitivity and associated metabolic syndromes in fructose fed rats JO - Nutrition & Metabolism SP - 53 VL - 8 IS - 1 AB - Type 2 diabetes mellitus, characterized by peripheral insulin resistance, is a major lifestyle disorder of the 21st Century. Raw garlic homogenate has been reported to reduce plasma glucose levels in animal models of type 1 diabetes mellitus. However, no specific studies have been conducted to evaluate the effect of raw garlic on insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes mellitus. This study was designed to investigate the effect of raw garlic on fructose induced insulin resistance, associated metabolic syndrome and oxidative stress in diabetic rats.
