Objective: We tried to explore beneficial effects of allicin- a natural antioxidant from garlic in the possible management of vaginitis. &amp;#xd;&amp;#xa;Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC&amp;#x2019;s) were isolated from blood of patients having vaginal infections as well as normal healthy subjects as per our published protocol. Monocytes (MN&amp;#x2019;s) from above PBMC&amp;#x2019;s were adhered, rested overnight and cultured without or with varying doses of allicin (0-500 ng/ml). Some cultures received SN50 and SN50M (100 ug/ml). After 24 hrs cultures, the cells were harvested and the supernatants subjected to secreted TNF-&amp;#x3b1; and sIFN-&amp;#x3b3; assays by ELISA. Treated/untreated harvested cells were subjected to glutathione...
