In the last few years, a number of reports have demonstrated
the antiproliferative effects of several compounds
derived from garlic. The effects displayed by garlic derivatives
include induction of apoptosis, regulation of cell cycle progression
and modification of pathways of signal transduction, all
of which are cancer-reducing events (20,21). In the present
study, the apoptosis of SGC-7901 cells increased significantly
in a dose-dependent manner following treatment with ABGE.
These data are in agreement with those of previous studies.
