Abstract in brief
The study shows that human red blood cells (RBCs) can convert garlic-derived organic polysulfides into hydrogen sulfide (H2S), which is an important signaling molecule for cardiovascular health.
The production of H2S from garlic compounds depends on the presence of reduced thiols and is facilitated by allyl groups and sulfur atoms, with conditions such as glucose levels playing a supporting role.
The research indicates that garlic’s ability to relax blood vessels (vasoactivity) is linked to H2S production, suggesting that measuring H2S levels could help standardize the potency of garlic supplements for cardiovascular benefits.]
