Abstract

The effect of several kinds of garlic preparations such as raw garlic juice (RGJ), heated garlic juice (HGJ), processed garlic powder (PGP) and aged garlic extract (AGE) on both physiological and psychological stress were investigated using four stress models in mice: forced swimming test, mechanical treadmill running, immobilization stress test, and a cooling rewarming test. RGJ was shown to be effective only at a low dose in the forced swimming test, whereas the effect was reduced at a high dosage. HGJ and PGP demonstrated no antistress effects. In contrast, AGE was shown to be effective in all of the stress tests. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
