Dual protection of aqueous garlic extract biomolecules against hemolysis and its oxidation products in preventing inflammation.

Garlic (Allium sativum) is recognized as functional food, rich in bioactive compounds that can combat diseases associated with oxidative stress. This study aims to investigate the protective potential of aqueous garlic extract against hemolysis and oxidation. Despite being caused by membrane fragility, hemolysis can lead to inflammation through the oxidation of its products, and in some cases, even exacerbate it in certain pathological contexts.
