Administration of allicin and metformin at the twelfth week after a nutritional system rich with glucose showed significant changes represented by reduction in fasting serum glucose level, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), insulin hormone, serum cholesterol level and LDL, and an elevation in HDL level when compared with the control group, while there were not any significant changes between allicin and metformin
