Effect of Garlic Oil on the Levels of Various Enzymes in the Serum and Tissue of Streptozotocin Diabetic Rats

Abstract

Levels of red cell, serum acid, and alkaline phosphatases, serum amylase, alanine and aspartate transferase and bilirubin were examined in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats treated with garlic oil and compared with the corresponding levels in diabetic control rats, normal rats and normal rats on garlic oil. Values of tissue amylase and total protein were also assessed from the pancreas, liver, and kidney. Treatment of diabetic rats with garlic oil significantly decreased the red cell phosphatase (ppppp<0.05) in the amylase levels of the pancrease, liver, and kidney.
