Protective role of curcumin in ethanol toxicity
Abstract: The effect of curcumin on ethanol induced liver toxicity was evaluated. The increased levels of aspartate transaminase and alkaline phosphatase induced by ethanol were significantly lowered by curcumin. Elevated serum cholesterol, phospholipids and free fatty acids were observed in ethanol fed rats, but on curcumin treatment they decreased. We have also observed a marked decrease in the levels of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances in serum of alcoholic rats fed curcumin. Thus this study shows that curcumi…

“…In this context, curcumin has been shown to reduce serum lipid peroxides in healthy volunteers . We have also reported previously that curcumin decreases the serum levels of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances in ethanol-fed animals (Rajakrishnan et al, 1998), thus helping to restore the attachment to collagen.…”

“…Rats given ethanol showed elevated levels of blood cholesterol, phospholipids, and free fatty acids; however, these levels fell after curcumin therapy. In the serum of alcoholic rats administered curcumin, a notable decline in the levels of TBARS was also observed (Rajakrishnan et al, 1998). According to another research, ethanol causes fatty acid alterations in the liver that were prevented by curcumin.…”
