| Summary: | Garlic (Allium sativum L.), a culinary plant with medicinal properties, has been utilized as a traditional remedy by people worldwide for centuries. Garlic possesses a variety of health benefits, such as its antibacterial and anticancer properties, its capacity to slow the aging process and prevent obesity, its antihypertensive, antioxidative, and cardioprotective properties, and its capacity to reduce blood sugar and cholesterol. Garlic possesses organosulfur compounds, which have been associated with advantageous and favorable impacts on health. This review specifically examines the therapeutic potential and molecular mechanisms of Garlic in influencing important processes related to the control of glucose and lipid metabolism. These effects have been observed in both laboratory studies and clinical trials. The processes encompassed within this category entail the excretion of insulin, the absorption of glucose, the accumulation of glycogen, and the synthesis of lipids in the liver. The results of this study investigating the impact of Garlic on glucose and lipid regulation will deepen our comprehension of this fascinating natural compound. This information will be invaluable for healthcare professionals, researchers, and individuals seeking to prevent and treat metabolic disorders. |
