Abstract

Macrophages play crucial roles in both the innate and adaptive immune systems, contributing to the removal of pathogens and subsequent immune responses. Conversely, aberrant macrophage functions are associated with the onset and progression of various diseases, highlighting macrophages as potential therapeutic targets. Aged garlic extract (AGE) is derived from garlic that has undergone a maturation process of over 10 months in an ethanol solution and contains a variety of bioactive components which are produced in the aging process. Previous animal studies and clinical trials have demonstrated that AGE and its constituents exert a range of health benefits, including immune modulation and amelioration of disease conditions. Experimental studies indicate that AGE modulates macrophage functions associated with pathological conditions. To facilitate understanding of AGE's potential as a functional alleviation for macrophage‑associated diseases, the present short review summarizes experimental evidence supporting the notion that AGE and its components modify macrophage functions, including phagocytosis, production of reactive oxygen species and polarization.
