It significantly increases the production of the enzyme glutathione S-transferase (GST), which binds electrophilic toxins in the cell. Garlic therefore supports, for example, the detoxification function of liver cells in vitro and protects nerve cells from oxidative stress, also in vitro.
The consumption of garlic boosts the production of glutathione S-transferase (GST), a protein that neutralizes harmful toxins within cells. This effect is observed in laboratory settings where garlic has been shown to support liver cell detoxification and protect nerve cells from oxidative damage.
