Parkinson disease (PD) is a common adult-onset neurodegenerative disorder, and PD related neuronal injury is associated with oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. Allicin, the main biologically active compound derived from garlic, has been shown to exert various anti-oxidative and anti-apoptotic activities in in vitro and in vivo studies.
