Effects of garlic polysaccharide on alcoholic liver fibrosis and intestinal microflora in mice
Open accessAbstract
CONTEXT: Alcoholic liver fibrosis (ALF) is treatable and reversible consequence of liver disease. Intestinal microflora plays an important role in the progression of liver disease. Garlic (Allium sativum L. [Amaryllidaceae]) has been consumed as a traditional medicine to treat liver injury. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of garlic polysaccharide (GP) on ALF and intestinal microflora in mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS: KM mice were orally administered with alcohol (56%, 6 mL/kg) for 30 d to establish ALF model, and divided into four groups together with control group (water only). Hugan tablet (60 mg/kg) or GP (250 and 150 mg/kg) were given 5 h after each dose of alcohol. Biochemical markers in serum and liver homogenate were determined with kits. Alteration of intestinal microflora, and protein expressions of TGF-β1, TNF-α and decorin were detected. RESULTS: In GP-H group, ALT and AST decreased to 18.85 ± 4.71 U/L and 40.84 ± 7.89 U/L. MDA, TC, TG and LDL-C decreased to 2.32 ± 0.86 mmol/mg, 0.21 ± 0.12 mmol/L, 0.96 ± 0.31 mmol/L and 0.084 ± 0.027 mmol/L. SOD, GSH-Px and GSH increased to 118.32 ± 16.32 U/mg, 523.72 ± 64.20 U/mg and 0.56 ± 0.05 mg/g. Ratios of TGF-β1 and TNF-α decreased to 0.608 ± 0.170 and 1.057 ± 0.058, decorin increased to 2.182 ± 0.129. Lachnospiraceae and Lactobacillus increased, Facklamia and Firmicutes decreased with GP pretreatment. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: Intestinal microflora provides novel insight into the mechanisms of GP that may be used to treat ALF and intestinal microflora dysbiosis.

Fructan from garlic increases the abundance of f_Lachnospiraceae.
“Fructan from garlic has been reported to increase the abundance of f_ Lachnospiraceae [54,55].”
From Preventive Effects and Mechanisms of Garlic on Dyslipidemia and Gut Microbiome Dysbiosis (2019) · cites this paper as [55]
The Results (DGGE analysis; page not specified) report that Lachnospiraceae increased with garlic polysaccharide pretreatment in alcohol-exposed mice. The physicochemical-properties section describes that preparation as a fructose-rich heteropolysaccharide, not specifically as a fructan. The claim therefore captures the observed increase but does not accurately identify the tested substance or its experimental context. (LLM, conf=0.85)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
