In adults with type 2 diabetes, daily oral supplementation with 2,400 mg of aged garlic extract for one year is associated with a 29% reduction in low-attenuation plaque volume in coronary arteries, whereas the placebo group experienced a 57% increase, indicating a potential beneficial effect on stabilizing high-risk atherosclerotic plaque components.
