Turmeric May Guard Blood Vessels from Diabetes
A study on rats found that the compound curcumin, found in turmeric, helps reduce blood vessel damage associated with type 1 diabetes by decreasing inflammation and improving aortic artery function. The animals that received treatment showed health indicators close to those of non-infected subjects after a month. The results indicated that curcumin aids in regulating calcium metabolism, reducing inflammation, and restoring the balance of the heat shock protein HSP70, which enhances the structure and function of blood vessels in diabetic patients. The researchers emphasized that the study was limited to animals and advised against relying on curcumin as a sole treatment for humans without further clinical studies.
