(Newswire.net — August 15, 2017) Las Vegas, NV — Curcumin is one of the phytochemicals that is believed to offer a myriad of health benefits. Individuals who suffer from certain conditions, such as those affecting the liver may potentially benefit from the use of this bioactive agent.
Curcumin is believed to be nature’s gift against fatty liver disease. Curcumin can be found in the ancient spice called turmeric. This spice has been utilized for thousands of years to potentially help fight a range of diseases and disorders. It has even been considered to improve liver health.
Anping Chen, PhD, Director of Research in the Pathology Department at Saint Louis University, conducted studies that found that curcumin may potentially be an effective alternative towards the prevention and treatment of liver fibrosis. Liver fibrosis has been linked with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
According to the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease pertains to a group of medical conditions that take place when there is buildup of excess fat in the liver of individuals who consume little or no alcohol.
Fatty liver is a non-serious common form of nonalcoholic fatty liver. When it is a more critical condition, it is called non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). It is important to remember that individuals with NASH usually suffer from liver cell inflammation as well as liver scarring.
A report from ACG revealed that 20% of adults are impacted by non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, as well as almost 5% of children. Fatty liver is usually caused by obesity. As a matter of fact, 20% of obese individuals suffer from NASH.
It is important to remember that NASH can lead to the development of a more serious type of liver damage, which is called liver fibrosis. It may also result in the development of liver cancer, cirrhosis, and death.
In the research of Chen, the effects of curcumin on high levels of leptin have also been evaluated. Leptin is a hormone that plays a major role in fat metabolism. Obese individuals or those suffering from diabetes usually have high levels of leptin. Chen also noted that leptin plays a vital role in liver fibrosis development.
Curcumin contains a variety of unique agents, which are believed to offer anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-carcinogenic, antibacterial, antiseptic, antiviral, and antitumor properties. It is also believed to offer a myriad of health benefits.
Today, curcumin can be consumed through supplementation. There are many curcumin supplements available in the market today, some of the most popular of which contain black pepper extract.
