Curcumin facilitates the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease via augmenting the function of antioxidant enzymes

Abstract

In China, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) affects nearly 10 million people, or about one percent of the population, and how to treat AD has always been the focus of attention. This investigation examined the efficacy of curcumin in the treatment of AD by enhancing the activity of antioxidant enzymes. The findings will elucidate the involvement of the proposed therapeutic mechanisms, specifically the reduction in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the augmentation of superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. Unveiling the potential mechanism of action could yield novel insights into the application of curcumin for AD treatment, thereby aiding researchers in the advancement and utilization of curcumin.
