Curcumin, a major constituent of turmeric, corrects cystic fibrosis defects.
Cystic fibrosis is caused by mutations in the gene encoding the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). The most common mutation, DeltaF508, results in the production of a misfolded CFTR protein that is retained in the endoplasmic reticulum and targeted for degradation. Curcumin is a nontoxic Ca-adenosine triphosphatase pump inhibitor that can be administered to humans safel...
متن کاملAge-Related Impairment of Ultrasonic Vocalization in Tau.P301L Mice: Possible Implication for Progressive Language Disorders
BACKGROUND Tauopathies, including Alzheimer's Disease, are the most frequent neurodegenerative diseases in elderly people and cause various cognitive, behavioural and motor defects, but also progressive language disorders. For communication and social interactions, mice produce ultrasonic vocalization (USV) via expiratory airflow through the larynx. We examined USV of Tau.P301L mice, a mouse mo...
متن کاملP-42: Protective Effect of Curcumin on Spermatogenesis Defects Induced by Dexamehasone
Background: Exposure to glucocorticoids such as dexamethasone (Dex) leads to numerous changes in various biological systems including the reproductive system. The present study investigates the efficacy of curcumin (Cur), an active component of turmeric, to attenuate Dex-induced spetmatogenic defects in the mouse testicles. Materials and Methods: A total of 32 male mice were divided into four g...
متن کاملCurcumin and chronic kidney disease (CKD): major mode of action through stimulating endogenous intestinal alkaline phosphatase.
Curcumin, an active ingredient in the traditional herbal remedy and dietary spice turmeric (Curcuma longa), has significant anti-inflammatory properties. Chronic kidney disease (CKD), an inflammatory disease, can lead to end stage renal disease resulting in dialysis and transplant. Furthermore, it is frequently associated with other inflammatory disease such as diabetes and cardiovascular disor...
متن کاملAmyloid activates GSK-3beta to aggravate neuronal tauopathy in bigenic mice.
The hypothesis that amyloid pathology precedes and induces the tau pathology of Alzheimer's disease is experimentally supported here through the identification of GSK-3 isozymes as a major link in the signaling pathway from amyloid to tau pathology. This study compares two novel bigenic mouse models: APP-V717I x Tau-P301L mice with combined amyloid and tau pathology and GSK-3beta x Tau-P301L mi...
