TOP 10 HEALTH STORIES
Extensive research over the past
five decades has indicated that curcumin reduces blood cholesterol
levels; prevents low-density lipoprotein oxidation; inhibits platelet
aggregation; suppresses thrombosis and myocardial infarction; suppresses
symptoms associated with type II diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis,
multiple sclerosis, and Alzheimer’s disease; inhibits HIV replication;
suppresses tumor formation; enhances wound healing; protects against
liver injury; increases bile secretion; protects against cataract
formation; and protects against pulmonary toxicity and fibrosis. These
divergent effects of curcumin seem to depend on its pleiotropic
molecular effects, including the regulation of signal transduction
pathways, and direct modulation of several enzymatic activities. Most of
these signaling cascades lead to the activation of transcription factor. |

School of Life Sciences, College of Natural
Sciences Researchers reviewed the last
ten years of curcumin science as it applies to supporting weight
loss and preventing obesity-related disease. Their conclusion is, “The
modulation of several cellular transduction pathways by curcumin has
recently been extended to elucidate the molecular basis for obesity and
obesity-related metabolic diseases. These findings might enable novel
phytochemical treatment strategies as well as curcumin translation to
the clinical practice for the treatment and prevention of
obesity-related chronic diseases. Furthermore, the relatively low cost,
safety and proven efficacy of curcumin make it advisable to include
curcumin as part of healthy diet.” |
Targeting
Inflammation-Induced Obesity and Metabolic Diseases by Curcumin and
Other Nutraceuticals
Cytokine Research Laboratory, Department of Experimental
Therapeutics, The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center,
Houston, Texas 77030 Extensive research within the past two decades has revealed that obesity,
a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis, cancer,
and other chronic diseases, is a proinflammatory disease. Several
spices have been shown to exhibit activity against obesity through
antioxidant and anti-inflammatory mechanisms. Among them, curcumin,
a yellow pigment derived from the spice turmeric (an essential
component of curry powder), has been investigated most extensively
as a treatment for obesity and obesity-related metabolic diseases.
Curcumin directly interacts with adipocytes, pancreatic cells,
hepatic stellate cells, macrophages, and muscle cells. There, it
suppresses the proinflammatory transcription factors nuclear
factor-kappa B, signal transducer and activators of transcription-3,
and Wnt/β-catenin, and it activates peroxisome proliferator-activated
receptor-γ and Nrf2 cell-signaling pathways, thus leading to the
downregulation of adipokines, including tumor necrosis factor,
interleukin-6, resistin, leptin, and monocyte chemotactic protein-1,
and the upregulation of adiponectin and other gene products. These
curcumin-induced alterations reverse insulin resistance,
hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, and other symptoms linked to obesity.
Pharmacological
basis for the role of curcumin in chronic diseases: an age-old spice
with modern target- Bokyung Sung
Cytokine Research Laboratory, Department
of Experimental Therapeutics, University of Texas M. D. Anderson
Cancer Center, Houston, TX 77030, USA
Curcumin (diferuloylmethane), a yellow pigment in the spice turmeric
(also called curry powder), has been used for centuries as a treatment
for inflammatory diseases. Extensive research within the past two
decades has shown that curcumin mediates its anti-inflammatory effects
through the downregulation of inflammatory transcription factors (such
as nuclear factor κB), enzymes (such as cyclooxygenase 2 and 5
lipoxygenase) and cytokines (such as tumor necrosis factor,
interleukin 1 and interleukin 6). Because of the crucial role of
inflammation in most chronic diseases, the potential of curcumin has
been examined in neoplastic, neurological, cardiovascular, pulmonary
and metabolic diseases. The pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of
curcumin have been examined in animals and in humans. Various
pharmacological aspects of curcumin in vitro and in vivo
are discussed in detail. Trends

traumatic brain injury, whether it's stroke, Alzheimer's disease,
Huntington's disease, or mad cow disease," says Gregory Cole,
associate director of the Alzheimer's Disease Center at the University
of California, Los Angeles. "What's unique about Curcumin,"

Curcumin
at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
The University of Texas, MD Anderson Cancer Center
Curcumin has been shown to prevent a large of number of cancers
in animal studies. Laboratory data indicate that Curcumin can
inhibit tumor initiation, promotion, invasion, angiogenesis and
metastasis.
Epidemiological evidence indicate that
incidence of certain cancers is less in people who consume Curcumin
than in those who do not. Recent evidence indicates that, besides
chemopreventive activity, Curcumin may also be effective in the
treatment of cancer. Curcumin is currently under investigtion for its anti-cancer and
anti-inflammatory effects at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center and other
medical institutions. |

Spice
Healer Scientific American Magazine
An ingredient in
curry shows promise for treating Alzheimer's, cancer and other diseases. "A chapter in a forthcoming book, for instance, describes the
biologically active components of Turmeric--Curcumin and related
compounds called Curcuminoids--as having antioxidant,
anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal properties,
with potential activity against cancer, diabetes, arthritis, Alzheimer's
disease and other chronic maladies. And in 2005 nearly 300 scientific
and technical papers referenced Curcumin in the National Library
of Medicine's PubMed database, compared with about 100 just five years
earlier.
Scientists who sometimes jokingly label
themselves Curcuminologists are drawn to the compound both
because of its many possible valuable effects in the body and its
apparent low toxicity. They ponder how the spice or its derivatives
might be used, not just as a treatment but as a low-cost preventive
medication for some of the most feared ailments. As a treatment, it also
has some enticing attributes. Because Curcumin targets so many
biological pathways, it could have benefits for cancer therapy:
malignant cells may be slow to acquire resistance to it and so might
have to go through multiple mutations to avoid the substance's
multipronged attack."
