| Title | Curcumin ameliorates experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis in a C57BL/6 mouse model |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Result | Gene expression analyses revealed that treatment with curcumin could lead to a significant reduction in the expression levels of pro-inflammatory cytokine coding genes including IL-6, IL-17, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and interferon (IFN)-γ as well as a significant increase in the expression level of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β (p = 0.006) as an anti-inflammatory cytokine. |
| Mechanism/pathway | curcumin prevents the nuclear factor kB-mediated transcription of inflammatory cytokines. |
