Aging, Aged Garlic, Vascular Function and Muscle Oxygenation

Study Description
Brief Summary:
The number of elderly individuals affected by cardiovascular diseases has been increasing in our country. Garlic (Allium sativum) has been associated with decrease of reactive species of oxygen, hypertension, high cholesterol, platelet aggregation, blood coagulation and especially cardiovascular diseases. The present study evaluated the effects of a garlic supplementation on vascular function and blood pressure in the elderly at cardiometabolic risk. Twenty-eight elderly individuals were submitted to an ingestion of four capsules of an aged garlic extract (KYOLIC® Aged Garlic Extract™). Muscle oxygenation and function were measured 180 min after interventions. Urinary thiosulfate, blood nitrate, nitrite, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and heart rate (HR) were measured at baseline and 180 min after interventions.
