Significance: It has been shown earlier that angiotensin II type I receptor (AT1R) antagonist prolongs mammalian life span. This study suggests, for the first time, that Garlic, by increasing the expression of their target gene, they may suppress the expression of AT1R. And, thereby, they may (1) decrease blood pressure; and (2) extend the lifespan of an individual. Thus, pharmacological formulations encompassing “Garlic extract or small molecule compounds isolated from it” may be used to extend the life-span of an individual.
