The Organosulfur Chemistry of the Genus Allium – Implications for the Organic Chemistry of Sulfur
A Cook's tour is presented of the organosulfur chemistry of the genus Allium, as represented, inter alia, by garlic (Allium sativum L.) and onion (Allium cepa L.). We report on the biosynthesis of…

Encoding social signals in the mouse main olfactory bulb
TLDR
It is concluded that mitral cells represent natural odorant stimuli by acting as selective feature detectors, and that their activation is largely independent of the presence of other components in the olfactory stimulus.

Chemical speciation influences comparative activity of selenium-enriched garlic and yeast in mammary cancer prevention.
TLDR
Comparison of biological activities of Se-garlic and Se-yeast was compared to elucidate how their disposition in tissues might account for the differences in cancer chemopreventive activity and the metabolism of these two compounds is discussed.

Selenium speciation in enriched and natural samples by HPLC-ICP-MS and HPLC-ESI-MS with perfluorinated carboxylic acid ion-pairing agents.
TLDR
Selenium-enriched plants, such as hyperaccumulative phytoremediation plants, and reference samples with natural selenium levels, including onion and garlic controls, cooking garlic powder, baking yeast powder and a commercial garlic supplement were analyzed by HPLC-ICP-MS for theirSelenium content and speciation after hot water and enzymatic extractions.

Effect of raw garlic vs commercial garlic supplements on plasma lipid concentrations in adults with moderate hypercholesterolemia: a randomized clinical trial.
TLDR
None of the forms of garlic used in this study, including raw garlic, when given at an approximate dose of a 4-g clove per day, 6 d/wk for 6 months, had statistically or clinically significant effects on LDL-C or other plasma lipid concentrations in adults with moderate hypercholesterolemia.
