Allicin Improves Lung Injury Induced by Sepsis via Regulation of the Toll-Like Receptor 4 (TLR4)/Myeloid Differentiation Primary Response 88 (MYD88)/Nuclear Factor kappa B (NF-κB) Pathway.

Model: Sepsis-related acute lung injury induced by intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide (endotoxin, Escherichia coli) at 20 mg/kg
Allicin dose-dependently reduced histological lung injury score, apoptotic cell number, lung wet/dry ratio and bronchoalveolar lavage TNF-alpha, IL-6 and IL-1beta compared with LPS alone, and suppressed TLR4, MyD88, NF-kappaB, caspase-3 and caspase-9 protein expression.
