Notes:
- Patients with allergic contact dermatitis to garlic were reported to exhibit cross-sensitivity to allyl propyl disulfide.
- The single oral administration of allyl propyl disulfide in a dose of 2.5 mg/kg to six fasted volunteers was reported to lower blood glucose by 16% (-12 mg/dl) and to increase serum insulin by 57% (+4.0 µunits/ml) in 4 hours.
