Component
Allicin entry into isolated human erythrocytes
Allicin entry into isolated human erythrocytes. Interpret through the linked study species, preparation, exposure and measured endpoint.
1 recorded relationships. Experimental role, claim status and evidence remain attached to each record.
How nutrients influence it
Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.
Other things that act on it
Enzymes, hormones, genes, and other components with a recorded effect. These are not nutrients, so they do not count toward the arrows above. Each finding names the chapter that recorded it.
How nutrients reach it in more than one step
Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

What it does
Every recorded relationship this component is part of, grouped by its role. Plain wording comes first; the technical statement follows.
What acts on it
Allicin permeated the tested membrane and reached thiols on the other side.
Experimental context and source evidence
- evidence_access
- Primary indexed abstract reviewed; full methods, exact concentrations or species-specific attribution remain unextracted unless explicitly stated in the abstract or separately verified publisher text.
- experimental_model
- Isolated human red blood cells
- interpretation_status
- Source-derived extraction of a fact-checked reference; access is explicit, not independent raw-data verification.
- limitations
- Interpret only within the recorded preparation, exposure and comparator. The complete source passage retains qualifications; unspecified doses/timing have not been extracted here. No clinical efficacy, nutrient deficiency or unique molecular mediation is inferred.

**Membrane entry.** Allicin crossed phospholipid vesicles and human erythrocyte membranes and reacted with enclosed thiols. The investigators did not find membrane leakage, fusion, or aggregation in those assays. Permeation supports intracellular target access during direct exposure; it does not establish oral delivery to a distant tissue or make transport and resistance irrelevant in every organism.
