Figure 1 Enhancement of DNA repair mechanisms by garlic compounds (created by BioRender.com). This diagram illustrates how garlic compounds enhance DNA repair mechanisms: DNA Damage: The process begins with DNA damage, represented as breaks and mutations in the DNA strands. Recognition: The damaged DNA is recognized by cellular repair machinery, signaling the need for repair. Garlic Compounds: Garlic compounds, highlighted in the diagram, play a crucial role at this stage. They are known for their Genoprotective properties. DNA Repair Mechanism: The diagram illustrates the sequential steps of DNA repair, including excision, polymerization, and ligation. Enhanced Repair: Garlic compounds facilitate and enhance the DNA repair process, as indicated by connecting lines and arrows.
