Abstract

Lipid peroxidation and fluorescent products are considered as characteristics of diabetic complications. On the other hand various studies have shown that curcumin is a promising bioactive compound showing antidiabetic activity. During present investigation the effect of curcumin nanoparticles on lipid peroxidation in terms of malondialdehyde, and lipofuscin granules in term of fluorescence product was studied. It was observed that after nanocurcumin administration, both of the parameters significantly reduced, and suggested that it was better than curcumin.
