| Abstract | ||
| This research was accomplished to clarify the effect of curcumin (Cur) and curcumin nanoparticles (Cur-NPs) on rheumatoid arthritis (RA). 48 male rats were divided randomly into groups (I): control; group (II): Cur group; group (III): Cur-NPs group; group IV: RA group; group V: Cur Treated (Tr) group; group VI: Cur-NPs Tr group; group VII: Cur Protective (Pr) group; group VIII: Cur-NPs Pr group; There was significant increase in serum MDA, RF, Anti-CCP, IL-6, and TNF- α levels and a greatly marked drop in levels of total antioxidant (TAC) in the rheumatoid arthritis (RA) group in comparison to control group with improvement their levels in groups(V- VIII). In conclusion, our result showed that the administration of Cur and Cur-Nps provided antioxidant and anti-arthritic effects against the toxicity of CFA. The histological and x-ray findings confirm the biochemical observations. | ||
