“…And it has been found the effect to decrease the cholesterol level in humans [17] and in rabbits which suggested the role to manage the cardiovascular disease [12]. Furthermore, it has been indicated the beneficial role of turmeric extract in other diseases and disorders including obesity, diabetes and liver disease [18][19][20][21]; whereas to the anti-inflammatory effects the immune system [22][23][24]. So, this study investigates the effect of the inclusion of turmeric powder in diets on fattening rabbits and some blood biochemical traits.…”

Male rabbits are tested when turmeric powder was added to their daily food over 4-5 weeks. The food consists of 15.8% crude protein including 2865.5 Kcal/ Kg metabolizable energy. The test was carried over three sets of 10 rabbits. The turmeric was fed under a control process of 4 or 8 gram/kg. These groups are classified into T1: without adding nothing, including T2 and T3 with added turmeric with 4 and 8 gram/Kg respectively. The biochemical blood parameters of slaughtered rabbits are investigated and studied. Quite good results were achieved that approve the Turmeric powder has a direct influence on the production and blood traits when T1 and T2 feed control were applied and adopted.

“…Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is an herbaceous plant of the ginger family (Zingiberaceae) that has been used both as a flavoring and a stimulating agent [125]. Curcumin, also known as diferuloylmethane, is a natural flavonoid component of turmeric, whose antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, anticancer, insulin-sensitizing and hypoglycemic properties have been demonstrated in many studies [126][127][128]. One animal [129] and one in vitro [130] study showed that curcumin promotes the browning of WAT, while one observational human study [131] has reported that the supplementation of an extract of Curcuma reduced the urinary excretion of niacin metabolites and medium-and short-chain acylcarnitines; thus suggesting the potential induction of mitochondrial β-oxidation of fatty acids for energy production.…”

The mass media has increasingly frequently suggested to the general population that specific foods or nutritional schemes are able to affect both human metabolism and energy expenditure, thus facilitating weight loss. This critical review is aimed at assessing available evidence on the roles of nutrients, food and dietary regimens in energy intake and energy expenditure. We queried the National Library of Medicine, the Cochrane Library, Excerpta Medica dataBASEand the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature database, and a search strategy was performed by using database-specific subject headings and keywords. We found that available scientific evidence on these topics is scarce, and that the limited number of available studies often have poor methodological quality. Only a few foods show beneficial effects on metabolism and energy expenditure, as the human energy balance is complex and multifactorial. Finally, microbiota may interfere with the intake, use and expenditure of energy in the human body. Conclusive evidence is still lacking, and, at present, it is not possible to identify a food or a diet with a significant impact on human energy expenditure.

“…Curcumin has been widely used for centuries for the treatment of several diseases, its usage dating back more than 2500 years in Asia, especially in traditional Indian medicine (Ayurveda) [33]. It has been utilized for various health problems, including several skin diseases, wounds, sinusitis, eye infection, rheumatism, dyspepsia, stress and depression Helicobacter pylori infection, peptic ulcer and irritable bowel syndrome, and placental diseases [34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41]. Interestingly, the first scientific study on the therapeutic properties of curcumin was published in 1937 [42].…”

Malignant mesothelioma is an infrequent tumor that initiates from the mesothelial cells lining of body cavities. The great majority of mesotheliomas originate in the pleural cavity, while the remaining cases initiate in the peritoneal cavity, in the pericardial cavity or on the tunica vaginalis. Usually, mesotheliomas grow in a diffuse pattern and tend to enclose and compress the organs in the various body cavities. Mesothelioma incidence is increasing worldwide and still today, the prognosis is very poor, with a reported median survival of approximately one year from presentation. Thus, the development of alternative and more effective therapies is currently an urgent requirement. The aim of this review article was to describe recent findings about the anti-cancer activity of curcumin and some of its derivatives on mesotheliomas. The potential clinical implications of these findings are discussed.
