Garlic shows good antithrombotic actions.:

The other major beneficial effect of garlic is due to its antithrombotic actions. This field of garlic research has been extensively studied. Garlic extracts and several garlic constituents demonstrate significant antithrombotic actions both in vitro and in vivo systems. Allicin and adenosine are the most potent antiplatelet constituents of garlic because of their in vitro effects. Since both allicin and adenosine are rapidly metabolized in human blood and other tissues, it is doubtful that these compounds contribute to any antithrombotic actions in the body. In addition, ajoene also seems not to be an active antiplatelet principle, because it is not naturally present in garlic, garlic powders, or other commercial garlic preparations. Only a small amount of ajoene can be found in garlic oil-macerates; however, ajoene is being developed as a drug for treatment of thromboembolic disorders.

 Recent findings on the identification of potent enzyme inhibiting activities of adenosine deaminase and cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase in garlic extracts are interesting, and may have a significant role in the pharmacological actions in the body. Presence of such enzyme inhibitors in garlic may perhaps explain several clinical effects in the body, including the antithrombotic, vasodilatory, and anticancer actions. Epidemiological studies have suggested that garlic plays a significant role in the reduction of deaths caused by malignant diseases.

 This had led many investigators to examine garlic and garlic constituents for their antitumor and cytotoxic actions both in vitro and in laboratory animals. The data from these investigations suggest that garlic contains several potentially important agents that possess antitumor and anticarcinogenic properties.

 Toxicology:

 In 1980, a clinical study was performed in which 200 people ingested 15 grams of raw Garlic daily for 3 1/2 weeks. No side effects were noted.10 Another study in 1991, with 50 participants ingesting 10 grams daily for 8 weeks, also noted no side effects.11 Several smaller studies have recorded similar results.

 There is one case recorded of a person who regularly ingested four cloves of raw Garlic daily and suffered platelet dysfunction and spinal epidural hematoma.12 Surgeons often recommend cessation of Garlic or Garlic supplement consumption prior to surgery, in order to decrease blood clotting times.

 Chronic exposure to raw (i.e., among food industry workers) Garlic or Garlic juice has resulted in allicin-initiated allergic contact eczema. There have been a few cases of allergic asthma reported in workers exposed to Garlic dust and powders.

 Purified allicin is strongly hepatotoxic to rats in large, long-term doses (equivalent to the amount in 1750 g of raw Garlic).13 Many other animal studies have demonstrated hepatotoxicity with ingestion of excessive amounts of Garlic and Onions.

 Various blood cell (leukocytes and erythrocytes) changes have been observed in animals given very large amounts of Garlic or Garlic extracts; including anemias, reduced phagocytic activity, and hemolysis.

 It has been noted that, in patients taking the blood thinner warfarin, intake of Garlic supplements can lead to significantly increased blood clotting times.14 Some of this potentially dangerous drug interaction effect may be due to allicin or its transformation products.

 In summary, the epidemiological, clinical, and laboratory data have proved that garlic contains many biologically and pharmacologically important compounds, which are beneficial to human health from cardiovascular, neoplastic, and several other diseases. Numerous studies are in progress all over the world to develop effective and odorless garlic preparations, as well as to isolate the active principles that may be therapeutically useful.
