Turmeric Promotes Vascular Endothelial Function Against the Risk of Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD)

By Kyle J. Norton

Vasoprotection is the process to improve the function of the blood vessels, including the use of the herbal and natural remedy.

Blood vessels are the tubular structure including a vein, artery, or capillary which carries the blood through the tissues and organs pumped by the heart.

Vascular endothelial dysfunction is a condition characterized by the damage of the vascular endothelium, the thin layer of cells that lines blood vessels, a leading cause of cardiovascular diseases (CVD).

In other words, the vascular endothelium dysfunction reduced the function of targeting free radicals that lead to the onset of oxidative stress.

The most common risk factors associated with vascular endothelium dysfunction are impaired vasodilation, deficiency of nitric oxide, and inflammation, and thrombosis.

Conventionally, treatments of vascular endothelial dysfunction are totally depending on the causes of the disease. Early detection has been found to play a critical role to recover endothelial function.

Turmeric is a perennial plant in the genus Curcuma, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, native to tropical South Asia.

The herb has been used in traditional medicine as an anti-oxidant, hypoglycemic, colorant, antiseptic, wound healing agent, and for the treatment of flatulence, bloating, and appetite loss, ulcers, eczema, inflammations, etc.

In the urgency to discover a natural ingredient for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, researchers examined the effects of curcumin ingestion and exercise training to improve vascular endothelial function in postmenopausal women.

The study included a total of 32 postmenopausal women who were assigned to 3 groups: control, exercise group with moderate aerobic exercise training for 8 weeks, and curcumin groups with curcumin orally administration for 8 weeks.

Based on the tested analysis, the flow-mediated dilation showed no difference before and after each intervention with flow-mediated dilation or other key dependent variables that were detected among the groups

However, curcumin and exercise groups showed a strong improvement of the flow-mediated dilation compared to no changes in the control group.

In other words, curcumin ingestion and aerobic exercise training can increase flow-mediated dilation in postmenopausal women.

Based on the findings, researchers suggested that both can potentially improve the age-related decline in endothelial function.

Taken altogether, turmeric processed a high amount of bioactive compound curcumin may be considered supplements for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases by improving the vascular endothelium functions, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of turmeric in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.
