TL;DR: It was observed that the activity of serum transaminase was not changed by the treatment of diallyl disulfide, and the liver cytosolic glutathione s-transferase was significantly increased, whereas the microsomal glutathion s- transfer enzyme was not increased.
Abstract: Glutathione s-transferase is thought to play a key role in initiating the detoxication of potential alkylating agents, including pharmacologically active compounds It is widely accepted that garlic contains allin which is converted to allicin by alliinase Allicin is easily degraded to diallyl disulfide and other components This report attempted to observe the effect of diallyl disulfide on some biological activities
