Abstract

Allicin components of garlic have been helpful medicinally because of its action as an indirect acting cholinergic agonist through its inhibitory effects on both acetylcholinesterase and butrylcholinesterase. This could also suggest therapeutic effects in the management of intestinal neuronal dysplasia type B, a disease which one of its pathophysiology has linked with increase acetylcholinesterase activities in the gut.
