  Aspartame is one of the most widely used artificial sweeteners in worldwide. The aim of this study was comparison of the antioxidant effect of vitamin E and Curcuma Longa L. extract on the histopathological lesions of aspartame consumption in rat. 32 males adult Wistar rats were randomly divided into four equal groups as follows: (1) control, (2) receiving aspartame (350 mg/kg) orally, (3) receiving aspartame (350 mg/kg) orally and vitamin E (400 mg/kg) by peritoneal injection, (4) receiving aspartame (350 mg/kg) and Curcuma Longa L. extract (200 mg/kg) orally for 1 month. At the end of the experiment, after tissue processing of livers and kidneys of rats, histopathological changes were examined and analyzed by using the Kruskal-Wallis test. Histopathological examination of liver in group 2 showed disruption of the hepatic cords, vacuolar degeneration and accumulation of necrotic materials in hepatocytes. Furthermore, renal tissue evaluation revealed degeneration of proximal and distal convoluted tubules; glomerular atrophy and increasing of urinary space. Above-mentioned lesions were significantly improved in groups 3 and 4 in comparison to group 2 (P<0.001). Besides, Vitamin E and Curcuma Longa L. extract had higher therapeutic effects in the liver tissue in comparison to the kidney. Furthermore, treatment with vitamin E caused a significant decrease of histopathological lesions in comparison to Curcuma Longa L. extract (P<0.001). These results showed the antioxidant effects of vitamin E and Curcuma Longa L. extract on the lesions of aspartame consumption and this protection effect was more pronounced in the group received vitamin E.

  Environmental pollution by cadmium (Cd) is increasing. The entry of this heavy toxic metal into the food chain is a serious danger to human and animal populations. This study aims to evaluate the effect of turmeric (Curcuma longa) powder (TP) containing 2.96% of total curcuminoides (TCM) in modulating the adverse impacts of Cd in Japanese quail. 180 22-day-old male Japanese quails were randomly divided into six groups for 23 days and fed a basal diet (BD) supplemented with 3 gr/kg TP (containing 88.18 mg of TCM), 5 mg/kg TP (containing 148 mg of TCM), 100 mg/kg Cd, 3 mg/kg TP plus 100 mg/kg Cd, and 5 gr/kg TP and 100 mg/kg Cd. The addition of TP to the Cd-contaminated diet reduced serum levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-αand IL-6, improved total antioxidant capacity, increased SOD and CAT activity, as well as decreasing MDA concentration. The TP supplementation significantly (p<0.05) reduced the harmful effects of Cd on body weight loss, relative liver weight gain, and total protein concentration, besides increasing serum levels of ALT, AST, and ALP enzymes. The findings of this study suggest that TP may reduce the toxic effects of Cd in Japanese quail by improving antioxidant status and reducing the activity of pro-inflammatory cytokines. The addition of 5 g/kg TP to the Cd-contaminated diet results in more antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties than 3 g/kg TP. Manuscript profile

  In this study, an experiment was conducted to investigate the toxicity of three spices powders species, cinnamon (Cinnamomum aromaticum Ness.), turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) and red pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) on adults of lesser grain borer (Rhyzopertha dominica F.). Experiments were done at five different rates 0.5, 0.85, 1.5, 3 and 5 % (wt/wt) with four replications under laboratory conditions (28±1°C, 70±5 % Rh). Twenty adult insects (1-4 day olds) were released in each treatment. The mortality was noted 1, 3, 5, 7 and 14 days after exposure. All insects were removed from all replications after 14 days and the experiments were monitored for the extra 36 days in order to count the number of adult offsprings. The results revealed that the powders had significant insecticidal effects on adults of this insect compare to the control. The toxicities of these powders increased with increase in dosage as well as increase in the period of exposure to the plant materials. Highest mortalities were recorded at the highest dosages and exposure times with turmeric, red pepper and cinnamon, respectively. LD50values (after 14 days) for turmeric, red pepper and cinnamon were 1.49, 2.10 and 3% of adult weights respectively. All tested materials at the highest dosages reduced significantly F1 progeny emergence of R. dominica. Howevercinnamon powder at 5 % (wt/wt) prevented reproduction completely (100%). This investigation showed that all three powders spices are suitable in protecting wheat grains against the lesser grain borer. Manuscript profile

  Renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is a major cause of acute renal failure (ARF), which is faced in many clinical situations. This study was designed to investigate the effect of pre-treatment with turmeric (Curcuma longa linn) powder on kidney histopathology and function markers in renal ischemia / reperfusion (IR) induced injury in the rats. A total of 80 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: sham, IR model and two I/R+TREE (2%and4%) - treated groups (n=20 per group). I/R groups’ kidneys were subjected to 60 min of global ischemia at 37oc followed by 30min of reperfusion. After 24h of reperfusion period, the rats were sacrificed. Kidney function tests and histopathological examination were also performed. Results were compared with a group of rats with sham operation. High serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen and uric acid were observed in I/R rats compared to the sham rats. Pre-treatment of turmeric powder for 30 days prior to IR operation improved renal function reduced IR induced renal inflammatory and oxidative injury. The results of this study showed that turmeric powder significantly prevented renal I/R-induced functional and histological injuries. Manuscript profile

  Turmeric, scientifically known as Curcuma longa L., belongs to the zingiberaceae family. Due to the need to find new antimicrobial drugs, in this study the phytochemical evaluation, antibacterial and inhibitory effects of turmeric extract were investigated on the production of amyloid nanobiofibrils. Dry and abraded skin of the plant was prepared from India in autumn 2016 and then extracted by maceration method. Analysis of secondary compounds of the extract was performed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The anti-microbial effect of aqueous and hydro-alcoholic extract of turmeric was investigated by the agar well diffusion method, MIC and MBC on two Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Anti-Alzheimer's effects of Hydro-alcoholic extract on the production of amyloid fibrils were studied by spectrophotometry. The results showed that Turmerone and Zingiburn were the most abundant compounds in hydro-alcoholic extract with 21.26% and 11.65%, respectively. The diameter of the non-growth halo in the hydro-alcoholic extract was 12 for Escherichia coli and 13 mm for Staphylococcus aureus and in the case of aqueous extract, no growth halo was created. The MIC was reported in hydro-alcoholic extracts for Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli at 26 and 53, respectively and in the aqueous extract for both bacteria at 123 mg/ml. MBC levels were also reported in the presence of hydro-alcoholic extracts for Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli at 53 and 106, respectively and for aqueous extract for both bacteria at 247 mg/ml. Increasing the concentration of Hydro-alcoholic extract reduced the production of amyloid fibrils by up to 40 % of the initial amount and this decrease was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy. Hydro-alcoholic extract of turmeric with antimicrobial and reducing effects on the production of amyloid fibrils, can be used as one of the useful drugs to reduce the complications of Alzheimer's disease.

  The effect of social stress on the occurrence of cardiovascular and mental diseases is obvious. In order to investigate the effect of these stresses on oxidative stress induction, and changes in the oxidant and antioxidant levels, the model for roommate change restriction and observation in the presence of curcuma longa antioxidant was designed A total of 60 Wister rats were kept under standard conditions of temperature, light, and water. In the under-stress groups, each rat was provided with one third of its common food. The roommate change stress and observation were applied to two groups of these rats. Two groups of rates were fed by the food contained curcuma longa. These rats kept under defined conditions for each group for 4 months i.e., roommate change, observation, curcuma longa; food restriction, observation, roommate change, curcuma longa; control; control, curcuma longa. After the rats' maintenance period was completed, they were anesthetized with ether and their kidney and brain tissues were homogenized. Each of the given factors i.e., malon-dialdehyde, glutathione, nitric oxide, cathepsin D and lipofuscin was measured in tissues. The malon-dialdehyde level increased significantly both in brain and kidney in under-stress group. The level of nitric oxide and glutathione increased in brain, but the activity of cathepsin D and lipofuscin accumulation remained unchanged. Also the amount of nitric oxide and glutathione remained the same. The brain is more sensitive to MDA formation, but the amount of glutathione and nitric oxide is higher. Thus social stress induced changes do not occur equally in kidney and brain tissues. Manuscript profile

  The purpose of this research is to investigate the antioxidant effect of turmeric and melatonin in three tissues of brain, liver and kidney under the same stressful conditions.For this purpose, 40 male Wistar rats were kept in different conditions to induce the desired stresses.Stresses include: food restriction, change of roommate and observation in conditions of having and not having turmeric and melatonin antioxidants.The rats were kept for 10 weeks in the defined conditions for each group, and after the completion of the period, the level of glutathione present in the homogenate of the brain, liver and kidney tissues was evaluated.At first, to ensure the induction of stress, the amount of glutathione and malondialdehyde was measured and compared to the control group.The result indicated the increase of glutathione and malondialdehyde and in fact the induction of stress.The general result indicates the effectiveness and protective effect of turmeric and melatonin in inhibiting oxidative stress in all three mentioned tissues, but this effectiveness is not seen in all three tissues with the same intensity.Contrary to the fact that turmeric was able to reduce the level of malondialdehyde and prove its antioxidant role in all three tissues of the brain, liver and kidney, it could not show its antioxidant role well in the liver tissue and the amount of glutathione did not decrease.Unlike turmeric, melatonin was able to show its antioxidant role in liver tissue cells better than in brain and kidney tissue, so that it was able to reduce the level of glutathione in these two tissues.Therefore, antioxidants probably have different functions in different tissues. .

  The present study aimed to investigate effect of turmeric on the biochemical markers of liver and kidney in Japanese quail. For this purpose, 180 one-day Japanese quails were divided randomly into four groups with three repetitions.  They were grown since one day to 42 days under similar conditions. All groups applied the basic standard diet based on the NRC recommendation. Group 1 received basic diet with 0.5 % turmeric. Group 2 received basic diet with 1% turmeric. Group 3 received basic diet with 0.25 % vitamin E. Group 4 as the control group used basic diet. All quails were slaughtered at the age of 42 days and serum samples were collected for evaluating the cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglyceride, total protein, uric acid and liver enzyme (ALT and AST) levels. The result of the previous study indicated that using turmeric at the level of 0.5 and 1% at the diet of quail is equal to all markers of Triglyceride metabolism, cholesterol and protein as well as the markers related to the evaluation of liver and kidney function by adding vitamin E. In general, a relative improvement was observed in the mentioned markers than the control group. Data comparison showed that using turmeric at the level of 1% had better effects than adding 0.5 % turmeric in most cases. It seems that using turmeric in the diet of quail can improve the markers related to fat metabolism. Manuscript profile
