Abstract | ||
Background: Cigarette smoking has been implicated in the pathogenesis of many diseases including coronary heart disease, pulmonary disease, and neoplastic disorders. Free radical-mediated oxidative stress is believed to play a central role in tobacco smoke toxicity. Many medicinal plants including Allium sativum (garlic) contain large amounts of antioxidants that can scavenge many substances which are responsible for oxidative stress-induced diseases. This study was performed to investigate the protective effect of garlic vinegar extract against some of smoking toxicities. | ||
