(8) We have approached the study of the ability of different types of lesions produced by DNA-damaging agents to develop sister-chromatid exchanges (SCEs) by analyzing SCE levels observed in Allium cepa L cells with BrdU-substituted DNA and exposed to visible light (VL), an irradiation which produces uracil residues in DNA after debromination of bromouracil and enhances SCE levels but only above a certain dose.
(9) The activity of microsomal NADPH-cytochrome-P-450-reductase and NADH-cytochrome-b5-reductase are inhibited after the addition of an aqueous extract of a pharmaceutical preparation of garlic (Allium sativum, L.) to buffer-suspended microsomes.
(10) The orientation of Giemsa C-bands has been studied in mitotic and interphase cells of Allium cepa.
(11) In addition to there being variation of flavor between different alliums, there are also considerable changes that occur as a result of cooking and processing.
(12) Dietary analyses revealed a significant protective effect of consumption of allium vegetables, oranges and tangerines, with a 50% reduced risk of nasal cancer among individuals in the highest intake group of these foods.

(15) When garlic (Allium sativum) was administered to rat per os simultaneously with cadmium, methylmercury and phenylmercury to detect the protective effect against the heavy metal poisoning, accumulation of heavy metals in liver, kidneys, bone and testes were decreased, and histopathological damages and the inhibition of serum alkaline phosphatase activities by heavy metals were reduced.
(16) Lower risks were found among people who had a higher intake of fresh vegetables, including garlic and other Allium vegetables which contain constituents that can inhibit carcinogenesis by N-nitrosamines and other substances in experimental animals.
(17) The microtubules of root hairs of Raphanus sativus, Lepidium sativum, Equisetum hyemale, Limnobium stoloniferum, Ceratopteris thalictroides, Allium sativum and Urtica dioica were investigated using immunofluorescence and electron microscopy.
(18) The genomes of seven plant species belonging to the genus Allium and exhibiting a threefold variation in their nuclear DNA content were analyzed by studying their reassociation kinetics, equilibrium centrifugation behavior in neutral CsCl gradients, and melting properties.
(19) Pretreatment with Allium sativum alone, or in combination with Crataegus, resulted in protective effects on isoprenaline-induced damage of heart, liver, and pancreas.
(20) Numerous vesicles were observed among the microtubules of the "preprophase" band in prophase cells from root tips of Allium cepa.

Definition:
(n.) A kind of small onion (Allium Ascalonicum), native of Palestine; the eschalot, or shallot.
