[Antioxidant action of garlic oil and allitridi]

The lipid peroxidation and chemiluminescence (CL) of mouse liver mitochondria induced by a Vc/FeSO4 reaction system was greatly inhibited by garlic oil (GO) and allitridi (Alt) at 0.1 mg/ml. HpD-induced photohemolysis was moderately inhibited by garlic oil (25 micrograms/ml) and allitridi (20 micrograms/ml). Allitridi (200 micrograms/ml) effectively prevented inactivation of red cell membrane acetylcholine sterase (AchEs) caused by .OH, and at 250 micrograms/ml it markedly inhibited blood CL stimulated by croton oil. Garlic oil (5 micrograms/ml) and allitridi (100 micrograms/ml) significantly increased O2-. production. Allitridi at 0.25 mg/ml and 1 mg/ml enhanced lipid peroxidation of mitochondria and blood CL caused by H2O2.
