Background |
It is a unique non-protein sulfur-containing amino acid in a class of garlic. |
Biological Activity |
Alliin, the most abundant sulphur compound in garlic, has been demonstrated to exhibit hypoglycemic, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. Alliin was effective on attenuating 1,3-DCP-induced lipogenesis via activation of the AMPK-SREBPs signaling pathway in HepG2 cells.[1] |
In Vitro |
Alliin attenuated lipogenesis induced by 1,3-DCP and that the reduction was due to activation of the AMPK pathway. HepG2 cells exposed to 1,3-DCP exhibited significant increase of triglyceride(TG)and total cholesterol(TC),and alliin reduced the accumulation. Most importantly,alliin could up-regulate the phosphorylation of AMPK and down-regulate protein and gene expressions of SREBP-1; FAS; SREBP-2;HMGCR in 1,3-DCP-induced HepG2 cells. [1] |
In Vivo |
Alliin ameliorates DSS-induced ulcerative colitis and inhibits the inflammatory responses in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells partly through inhibiting ERK1/2-,JNK-/PPAR-γ-stimulated NF-κB/AP-1/STAT-1 activations.[2] |
Animal Experiment |
The phenotype of mice was recorded in the DSS-induced and/or alliin(500 mg/kg)groups. Histopathological alterations were analyzed by H&E staining. MPO and MDA of colon tissues were measured. The mRNA expression levels of inflammatory factors were determined by qRT-PCR,and protein expressions of inflammatory factors or activation of kinases were determined by Western blotting.[2] |
