Curcumin, one of the most studied chemopreventive agents, is a natural compound extracted from Curcuma longa L. Extensive research over the last half century has revealed that curcumin can inhibit the proliferation of various tumor cells in culture, prevent carcinogen induced cancers in rodents and inhibit the growth of human tumors in xenotransplant or orthotransplant animal models. Several ph...

Cognitive dysfunctions are the main symptoms associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). In last decade, use of natural substances to prevent or alleviate neurological have attracted great interest. Curcumin, polyphenolic component turmeric ( Curcuma longa ) rhizomes, has a variety beneficial properties, including potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Despite therapeutic potential ...

Historically most residential wood preservatives were aqueous soluble metal formulations, but recently metals ground to submicron size and dispersed in water to give particulate formulations have gained importance. In this study, the specific role nano-zinc oxide (ZnO) particle size and leach resistance plays in termite mortality resulting from exposure to particulate ZnO-treated wood was inves...

Ammonium perchlorate (AP) is a common oxidizer in composite propellants, and its combustion behavior can be tailored by micro- nano-metal oxide catalysts. pellets were manufactured with nano-titanium iron at several mass loadings (0–3%) to isolate their effects on AP. The samples burned from 3.45 34.5 MPa (500–5000 psi) constant-volume strand bomb. Microscopy characterization was completed for ...

Histone acetyltransferase (HAT) is an enzyme required for chromatin remodeling and transcriptional activation. Sarcoendoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) ATPase (SERCA) is an ATP coupled Ca(2+) ion pump involved in metabolic arrest. Both these enzymes are present in Plasmodia and have been selected as molecular targets for in silico studies of some new non-resistant antimalarial drugs like artemisinin, ...

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...

Nano-delivery systems for the active ingredients of pesticides can improve the utilization rates of pesticides and prolong their control effects. This is due to the nanocarrier envelope and controlled release function. However, particles containing active ingredients in controlled release pesticide formulations are generally large and have wide size distributions. There have been limited studie...

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...
