Abstract F‐4, a protein fraction isolated from aged garlic extract strongly stimulates mice peritoneal macrophages in terms of glucose utilization and exhibits cytostatic activity vitro . F‐4 also has mitogenic on spleen cells. In vivo , induced the stimulation carbon clearance mice. No obvious activities were observed low molecular these tests, but weak effects found fructan (F‐3).
