Curcuminoid-Piperine Combination Improves Radical Scavenging Activity in Women with Premenstrual Syndrome and Dysmenorrhea: A Post-hoc Analysis of a Randomized Clinical Study.

Oxidative stress maybe involved in the patho-etiology of menstrual-associated complications. Curcuminoids, are polyphenolic natural compounds that have potentially important functional activities. This triple-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial was performed to investigate the effects of a curcuminoids on oxidative stress and antioxidant capacity in girls with premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and dysmenorrhea.

Effects of curcumin supplementation on insomnia and daytime sleepiness in young women with premenstrual syndrome and dysmenorrhea: A randomized clinical trial.

Objective: Premenstrual syndrome and primary dysmenorrhea are common gynecological complaints that are associated with psychological disorders. There is increasing evidence for the neuroprotective properties of curcumin, a polyphenolic natural product. This study aimed to assess the effects of curcumin on sleep complications in women with premenstrual syndrome and dysmenorrhea.

Role of Cerium Oxide Nanoparticles in a Paraquat-Induced Model of Oxidative Stress: Emergence of Neuroprotective Results in the Brain.

Paraquat (PQ), as a widely used herbicide, enhances the formation of free radicals and oxidative stress. Cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeNPs) are one of the most utilized and effective nanoparticles having strong antioxidative properties and inhibiting free radicals. Here, we aimed to investigate the effects of CeNPs on brain oxidative toxic stress injury induced with PQ.

Assessment of CEP55, PLK1 and FOXM1 expression in patients with bladder cancer in comparison with healthy individuals.

This case/control study is aimed at investigating the expression of CEP55, PLK1 and FOXM1 in bladder cancer tissues and comparing it with healthy tissue and their relationship with clinicopathological features of BC. Total RNA was extracted; then, gene expression was performed using real-time PCR relative to 18 s rRNA. 2 method was used to calculate the relative expression of genes.

Evaluation of MicroRNA-99a and MicroRNA-205 Expression Levels in Bladder Cancer.

Bladder cancer is the second most common cancer in the genitourinary tract, showing often recurrence and progress into invasive states. Epigenetic changes, such as microRNA alteration are involved in bladder cancer tumorigenesis through a variety of signaling pathways. The epigenetic state depends on geographic and lifestyle conditions.
