Allicin extracted from Allium sativum shows potent anti-cancer and antioxidant properties in zebrafish.

Researchers developed a method to extract allicin from garlic and found it remains stable at low temperatures. In zebrafish studies, allicin showed antioxidant, anti-proliferative, apoptotic, and anti-angiogenic properties. This suggests allicin could be investigated as a potential anti-cancer agent.

Role of parthenolide in paclitaxel-induced oxidative stress injury and impaired reproductive function in rat testicular tissue.

Parthenolide, a plant extract, can alleviate testicular toxicity caused by paclitaxel, reducing oxidative stress and improving antioxidant levels and gene expression related to reproduction in rats, potentially offering a treatment for PTX-induced testicular damage.

Supplementation with Manihot esculenta Crantz (Cassava) leaves' extract prevents recognition memory deficits and hippocampal antioxidant dysfunction induced by Amyloid-β.

Cassava leaves' extract (CAS) was tested on an Alzheimer's disease (AD)-like model induced by amyloid-beta (Aβ) 25-35 peptide. Results showed that CAS has neuroprotective effects on oxidative balance and memory deficits.
