姜黄素帮助修复受损神经 - 海淘家园 - 海淘GNC/高血压/糖尿病/减肥等保健品

New research from China indicates curcumin can help repair damaged nerve tissues. Curcumin is the primary active constituent of the Asian spice known as turmeric, which has been used medicinally for more than 4,000 years. Traditionally, turmeric has been used for a wide range of applications, from skin conditions to respiratory and gastrointestinal complaints. Modern research has focused on the activity of phenolic compounds in turmeric known as curcuminoids, which have demonstrated powerful antioxidant properties.

来自中国的最新研究表明，姜黄素可以帮助修复受损的神经组织。姜黄素是香料姜黄的主要活性成分，在亚洲，4000多前年已入药。从皮肤状况，到呼吸道和胃肠道的不适，姜黄传统上已有广泛的应用。现代的研究主要集中在姜黄中的活性酚类化合物，也被称为姜黄素，它已表现出强大的抗氧化性能。

Based on previous research demonstrating a protective effect for curcumin in nerve injury, researchers examined the effects of three different dosages of curcumin on nerve crush injury in rats. The rats were subjected to nerve crush injury and given either curcumin or a placebo daily for four weeks, with the effects on nerve regeneration measured by morphometric analysis and behavioral tests. The rats given curcumin achieved better nerve regeneration and functional recovery compared to rats given a placebo, and rats given higher doses of curcumin showed better performance than those given lower doses. These findings suggest that curcumin may have a neuroprotective effect that could benefit brain and central nervous system function.

根据以往的研究显示姜黄素在神经损伤具有保护作用，研究人员检测了三种不同剂量的姜黄素对大鼠神经挤压伤的影响。神经受挤压伤的试验老鼠每天服用姜黄素或安慰剂，持续四个星期，并进行神经再生的效果形态分析和行为测试测量。给予姜黄素的试验鼠与服用安慰剂的相比取得了较好的神经再生和功能恢复，给予高剂量的姜黄素的试验鼠比低剂量表现出更好的功能恢复。这些结果表明，姜黄素可能有神经保护作用，可能有利于大脑和中枢神经系统功能。
