1 Curcumin, a polyphenol derived from Curcuma spp., has shown wide-ranging chemopreventive activity in preclinical carcinogenic models, in which it inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 at the transcriptional level. Curcumin mitochondrially encoded cytochrome c oxidase II Homo sapiens
2 When 1 microM curcumin was added in vitro to blood from healthy volunteers, LPS-induced COX-2 protein levels and concomitant PGE(2) production were reduced by 24% and 41%, respectively (P < 0.05 by ANOVA). Curcumin mitochondrially encoded cytochrome c oxidase II Homo sapiens
