Curcumin as a Novel Trend in Adjunctive Therapy for Ulcerative Colitis
https://doi.org/10.15690/pf.v21i6.2840
Abstract
Management of ulcerative colitis remains challenging. The search of new treatment approaches for this disease is constantly continuing. In recent years, the focus was changed to curcumin, active polyphenol found in turmeric roots, that has numerous positive effects on the human body such as anti-inflammatory, anti-carcinogenic, and antioxidant features. Curcumin affects several signaling cellular pathways and gut microbiota content. This review summarizes modern data on the curcumin potential use in ulcerative colitis management.
