Abstract
Human subjects were used for a garlic experiment. The subjects were given a fat‐rich diet for 7 days and on the 8th day the fasting blood was analyzed for serum cholesterol, serum triglycerides, serum total lipids and serum glucose. The human subjects were then given a fat‐rich diet with 40 g of garlic for 7 days and on the 15th day the fasting blood was analyzed for the above investigations. On a fat‐rich diet the serum cholesterol, serum triglycerides and serum total lipids were significantly increased as compared to normally fed diet. When 40 g of garlic was substituted in fat‐rich diet for 7 days, the garlic significantly reduced the serum cholesterol and serum triglycerides.
