Abstract
Curcumin inhibited lipid peroxidation induced by ferric ions, ferrous
ions and ferric-ADP chelate (in the presence of ascorbic acid or NADPH
) in rat brain homogenate and liver microsomes. This may represent one
of the mechanisms through which curcumin exhibits anti-inflammatory a
nd anticancer activities.
