| Description |
Ground water arsenic contamination has been reported from many countries of the world
including India and Bangladesh. Arsenic exposure in human leads to a wide variety of
adverse health outcomes like skin lesions including melanosis, hyperkeratosis, Bowen’s
disease, basal and squamous cell carcinomas. Previous report from our laboratory
suggested that aqueous garlic extract (AGE), a common Indian household spice
containing a number of organosulphur compounds (OSCs), was found to play an
inhibitory action against arsenic-induced toxicity both in vitro and in vivo. This could
make AGE a better substitute for synthetic chelators which are associated with various
side effects.
