Scientists from the Chinese Institute of Genetics and Development of the Sciences of the China have found that the bioactive compound helps reduce nervous inflammation and restore brain damage caused by epileptic attacks. The results of the study were published in Advanced Science (ADVSCI).
Epilepsy is a heavy neurological disorder characterized by repeated attacks. These attacks not only damage the neurons, but also activate glial cells, causing local immune to the local body. This immune reaction releases probation factors that contribute to the occurrence of the vicious circle, which is deteriorating the human condition.
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has long used the Baijin pills containing the turmeric for the treatment of epilepsy. However, the exact molecular mechanisms that this material affects neuroborporption remains incomprehensible.
The new study showed that Kurkum regulates a special protein thyozinfatase type Z1 receptor (PTPRZ1). PTPRZ1 gene is expressed in different tissues, including cancer tissues. It is associated with such diseases such as lung cancer, cervical cancer, hepatocharzine, kidney cancer and globlastomation.
PTPRZ1 participates in the creation of contextual memory and protects the oligodendrocytes (a group of diverse auxiliary cells). In the study, the normalization of its function helped to suppress unnecessary neuroporphorporphic reactions, reducing the loss of brain after the attacks and contributing to the restoration of neurons.
Scientists say their discovery is based on further research on the therapeutic potential in the treatment of neurological diseases.
