Subject: Curcumin helps to effectively ease inflammatory bowel disease: China mouse study
Curcumin, a substance in turmeric, can halt progression of inflammatory bowel disease. Researchers in a leading Chinese university induced colitis in mice and treated them with the substance. Mice treated had a decrease in inflammatory cell infiltration into the colonic mucosa. It does this by suppressing dendritic cell activation which are responsible for creating bowel inflammation.
Key Takeaways:
- Curcumin can help suppress the activation of dendritic cells, which play a pivotal role in the progression of inflammatory bowel disease, research from China has discovered.
- Experimental colitis was induced ... , After seven days treatment with curcumin, its therapeutic effect was verified by decreased colonic weight, histological scores and remitting pathological injury.
- These results hinted that curcumin potentially prevent the chronicity of colitis. Certainly the results should be verified repeatedly and explored... .
