Garlic has abundance chemical compounds such as allicin, alliin, S\u2010allyl cysteines, thiacremonone, diallyl\u2010disulfide, diallylsulfide, and others. This medicinal plant and its constituents offer a lot of benefits including free\u2010radical scavenging, anti\u2010inflammatory, anticholesterolemic, anti\u2010gastric ulcer, antimicrobial, anticancer, and antioxidant properties. Garlic also modulates the activity of several metabolizing enzymes. This review summarizes various in vitro and animal studies on the protective effects of garlic against natural and chemical toxicities. It has been shown that garlic and its major components can ameliorate the toxicity of different agents in brain, kidney, blood, liver, embryo, spleen, pancreas, heart, reproductive system in part through radical scavenging, antioxidant effect, reducing lipid peroxidation, anti\u2010inflammatory, chelating agent, cytoprotective activities, increase protein synthesis in damaged tissues, suppressing apoptosis, modulation of p53, phosphoinositide 3\u2010kinase, Akt, nuclear factor (erythroid\u2010derived 2)\u2010like 2, antioxidant responsive element, p38 MAPK, inducible nitric oxide synthase, cyclooxygenase\u20102, cytosolic phospholipases A2, cleaved\u2010caspase\u20109, cleaved\u2010caspase\u20103 Bcl\u20102, Bcl\u20102\u2010associated X, peroxisome proliferator\u2010activated receptor gamma, NF\u2010jB, nuclear factor\u2010kappaB signaling pathways and cytochrome P450 enzymes. With controlled clinical trials, garlic may be introduced as a universal antidote or protective plant against many toxic agents.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ptr.6645","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,18]],"date-time":"2020-02-18T17:03:01Z","timestamp":1582045381000},"page":"1770-1797","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":82,"title":["Garlic (<i>Allium sativum<\/i>) as an antidote or a protective agent against natural or chemical toxicities: A comprehensive update review"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"34","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8075-267X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mahyar","family":"Dorrigiv","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacognosy, Faculty of Medicine AJA University of Medical Sciences  Tehran Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Armin","family":"Zareiyan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Public Health Department Nursing Faculty at Aja University of Medical Sciences  Tehran Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3483-851X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hossein","family":"Hosseinzadeh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pharmaceutical Research Center, Pharmaceutical Technology Institute Mashhad University of Medical Sciences  Mashhad Iran"},{"name":"Department of Pharmacodynamics and Toxicology, School of Pharmacy Mashhad University of Medical Sciences  Mashhad Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","first-page":"1344","article-title":"Effects of dietary consumption of garlic on delaying cataract induced by sodium selenite in rats","volume":"5","author":"Abd El\u2010Razek F.
