Turmeric: An antidote to lead poisoning. treated with lead?

[Guest guest]

this is an experimental statement . It means that a given amount f

lead is introduced to teh test animal (rat ) together with the

tumeric.

than measured for the impact. the rat was then killed to retrieve the

information on the damage done.

 

I generly feel animals are used excessively for our purpose ;

component of the spice turmeric prevents lead-induced neuron death

and memory loss in rats. The cure for the effects of lead poisoning

on learning and memory may lie in the roots of the plant Curcuma

longa, the source of the Asian spice turmeric. That conclusion comes

from a new study published online January 17 in the Journal of

Agricultural and Food Chemistry.

simultaneously treated with lead and curcumin—a chemical in turmeric

and a powerful antioxidant—rat hippocampal neurons survived better

than those treated only with lead. Curcumin also improved the

performance of lead-poisoned rats in a learning and memory test,

illustrating curcumin's therapeutic prowess.
