CURCUMIN: BOON FOR HUMAN BEING
Lubna Azmi*, Sanjeev Kumar Ojha and Ch V Rao
ABSTRACT Turmeric (Curcuma longa L.), commonly known spice, is well documented for its medicinal values in Indian systems of medicine. It has been broadly used cuisine as well as for the treatment of several disorders. Epidemiological observations, though indecisive, are suggestive that turmeric consumption may decrease the risk of some form of cancers and make other protective biological results in humans. These biological effects of turmeric have been featured to its active constituent curcumin that has been widely studied for its antiinflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-angiogenic, wound healing and anticancer effects. As a result of wide epidemiological, clinical, and animal studies several molecular mechanisms are emerging that elucidate multiple biological effects of curcumin. This review concludes the biological effects of curcumin. Keywords: Curcumin, Turmeric, Dietary supplement, Anti-cancer. [Download Article] [Download Certifiate] |
