Abstract Background Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder, which caused by the CFTR protein defects. Along with dysfunction, inflammation plays key role in disease outcomes. Inflammation may develop due to internal dysfunction of or external factors. Curcumin affects function primarily as corrector and potentiator secondary an anti-inflammatory antimicrobial agent. The present study aims a...

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of dietary supplementation with nano-curcumin (NCur) and a nano-curcumin/chitosan blend (NCur/Ch) on growth performance, digestibility, immune response, antioxidant status, intestinal morphometric characters, gene regulation in Nile tilapia. Fish (n = 180, initial body weight 12.0 ± 0.53 g) received supplementary NCur at rates 0 (control), 0.00625, 0.012...

Curcumin is an herbal plant with great therapeutic applications. Although it is useful in treating several diseases, its low solubility in water and low bioavailability in living systems are limiting factors in using curcumin as a medicine. One way to overcome these shortcomings is the production of curcumin micro/nano particles. In this research, the particles of curcumin loaded with polycapro...

Objective: Despite the prevalence of obesity related liver disease in many countries, there is still no definitive pathway for prevention and treatment. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of combining resistance training and curcumin supplementation on liver enzyme in inactive obese and overweight Females. Materials and Methods: The study was done in a quasi-experimental trial. ...

This research examined the role of nano curcumin (NC) on growth performances, body composition, and blood parameters red tilapia (Oreochromis sp.) challenged with Aspergillus flavus. Fish (5.0 g ± 0.30) were randomly distributed in four equal groups (20 fish per pond triplicates) fed various concentrations NC fortified 0 (Control), 40 mg/kg (NC1), 50 (NC2), 60 diet (NC3) curcumin. After eight w...

Many chemotherapeutic regimens have been investigated for advanced unresectable and metastatic pancreatic cancer (PC), but with only minimal improvement in survival prognosis. Here, we anti-cancer function of free nano-encapsulated hydroxytyrosol (Hyd) curcumin (Cur), its combinations (Hyd-Cur) on PANC-1 cell line. The poly lactide-co-glycolide-co-polyacrylic acid (PLGA-co-PAA) Hyd Cur were syn...
