Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

Curcumin , diferuloyl methane found in the spice turmeric, has the potential to increase the formation of DHA from ALA by activating the enzymes FADS2 and elongase 2.
Prostaglandins, leukotrienes, and essential fatty acids  •  2017  |  View Paper
We report that curcumin enhances the synthesis of DHA from its precursor, α-linolenic acid (C18:3 n-3; ALA ) and elevates levels of enzymes involved in the synthesis of DHA such as FADS2 and elongase 2 in both liver and brain tissues.

This study demonstrated that alanine modification of FDA-approved PF-127 affects copolymer nanoassembly and has a profound impact on curcumin loading and possibly on other hydrophobic drugs as well.

Furthermore, mutation of these residues to alanines promoted channel opening by curcumin in an ATP-dependent manner even in the absence of PKA.

In contrast, curcumin decreased the level of oxidative and nitrative stress markers such as urinary 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine, plasma levels of malondialdehyde and nitrate/nitrite, and activity of plasma alanine transaminase, a liver injury marker.
