Effect of onion (Allium cepa Linn.) and garlic (Allium sativum Linn.) on plasma triglyceride content in Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonicum).
TLDR
In this paper, the authors found that onion and garlic caused an increase in the level of plasma triglyceride which could be due to insulin like activity of dietary alliums and other factors that promote lipogenesisi in growing stages.Abstract:
Dietary onion and garlic caused an increase in the level of plasma triglyceride which could be due to insulin like activity of dietary alliums and other factors that promote lipogenesisi in growing stages. Changes in the plasma triglyceride level in the control group due to change in age and sex were also noted. The triglyceride level was more in female birds when compared to males of similar age group. The plasma trigelyceride level increased with age in both sex except for the level being similar in the 6 and 9-week old females and 3 and 6-week old male birds. The results suggest that the effects of alliums in growing and adult stages may be different which needs further study.read more

TL;DR: Garlic treatment significantly attenuated inflammation and injury of the liver induced by E. papillata infections, and counteracted the E. Papillata-induced loss of glutathione and the activities of catalase and superoxide dismutase.

Enhancement of peritoneal macrophage phagocytic activity against Leishmania major by garlic (Allium sativum) treatment.
TL;DR: The results show that a single dose of 20 mg/kg garlic extract intraperitoneally (i.p.) alters the number of peritoneal macrophages for at least 2 weeks and augments parasite engulfment and destruction of intracellular amastigotes by macrophage.

TL;DR: The data indicate that the anti-coccidial activity of garlic is associated with specific changes in the miRNA signature of the mouse jejunum, which may reflect an involvement of miRNAs in garlic-activated pathways to reduce and/or to repair E. papillata-induced tissue injuries.
