Curcumin (diferulometan) is curcuminoid and phenolic compounds are linked to the ferulic, phytochemicals that are important in detoxification. Curcumin gives mustard and yellow pigment in turmeric, a spice commonly used especially in Indian dishes and curries, which is taken from the roots of plants related to ginger.
Traditionally, turmeric is used to support liver function primarily related to an increase in liver detoxification and prevent yellowish. Turmeric is also used to help with digestive problems like acidity and to treat arthritis.
Curcumin is a good antioxidant and detoxification implementing phase 1 and phase 2. Curcumin is known to have anti-inflammatory activity because of its ability to inhibit enzymes that are important in inflammatory processes, such as cox-2 and nitric oxide synthase. Cox-2 is an enzyme critical not only in inflammation but also in many types of cancer. When large amounts of nitric oxide is also involved in the process of inflammation and cancer.
Research by Drs. Conney and colleagues from Rutgers University have shown that curcumin has anti-carcinogenic effects are stronger in some tissues such as skin, stomach, small intestine, breast and colon. Barriers to the induction of cancer that is caused by a variety of cancer-causing agents appear to be connected to the ability of curcumin to inhibit certain detoxification enzymes and the heightens some Phase 2 reactions such as GST, quinone reductase and glukuronidasi.
Besides the effect of curcumin indicator of cox-2 and nitric oxide and it stimulation effects on DNA repair in carcinogen damage appeared to be associated with the effect of anti mutagennya. Curcumin is also known to have anti-bacterial and anti fungal.
Besides curcumin, and spices - other hypolipidemic spices such as capsaicin from chilli and garlic is very effective in reducing oxidative stress in red blood cells and liver, according to research from RKKempaiah and K Srinivasan Dept. of Biochemistry and Nutrition, Central Food Technological Research Institute, Mysore India which was published in the journal Annals of nutrition and metabolism in 2004.
