Re: Re: Curcumin- The European Journal of Cancer Article-Glutathione

[Guest guest]

Here's what that short piece on Curcumin claims:

" its mechanisms of action include inhibition of several cell signaling pathways

at multiple levels, effects on cellular enzymes such as cyclooxygenase and

glutathione S-transferases, immuno-modulation and effects on angiogenesis and

cell-cell adhesion. Curcumin's ability to affect gene transcription and to

induce apoptosis "

No scientist here, however, what I read is, 'it inhibits several cell signalling

pathways' and after the comma goes on to say, " effects on cellular enzymes blah

blah, which are qualified by the earlier word, 'include' which probably means

it does all of the things following the word 'include' not necessarily all

being inhibited. The operative word here regarding cancer is 'apoptosis'.

I'm for cell apoptosis.
