The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of curcumin supplementation on
exercise-induced oxidative stress in humans. 10 male participants, ages 26.8±2.0 years …

Curcumin has been shown to reduce exercise-induced oxidative stress (OS) and
inflammation. The purpose of this investigation was to examine the effects of curcumin …

Background: Exercise-induced oxidative stress, muscle damage, and inflammation
represent major contributors to why athletes use ergogenic aids. Turmeric is used as a spice …

Physical activity, particularly high-intensity eccentric muscle contractions, produces exercise-
induced muscle damage (EIMD). The breakdown of muscle fibers and the consequent …

Background: It is known that unaccustomed exercise—especially when it has an eccentric
component—causes muscle damage and subsequent performance decrements. Attenuating …

Curcumin, as the main natural compound in the turmeric plant (Curcuma longa), is a
yellowish polyphenol that has been used traditionally in Asian countries as a medicinal herb …

We examined the effect of curcumin (CUR) ingestion before or after exercise on changes in
muscle damage and inflammatory responses after exercise. We conducted two parallel …

Purpose Exercise (Ex) increases reactive oxygen species and impairs antioxidant defense
systems. Recent data suggest that curcumin (CW) possesses peroxisome proliferator …

Purpose Polyphenolic curcumin is known to have potent anti-inflammatory effects; thus the
present study investigated the hypothesis that curcumin ingestion would attenuate muscle …

Background Endurance exercise induces IL-6 production from myocytes that is thought to
impair intracellular defence mechanisms. Curcumin inhibits NF-κB and activator protein 1 …
