inhibiting airway inflammation and immune regulation in a chronic asthmatic mouse model».
At a mechanistic level, curcumin mitigates
inflammation by
inhibiting an array of pro-inflammatory signaling molecules, such as the eicosanoids known as leukotrienes, thromboxanes, and prostaglandins, which elicit deleterious effects ranging from pain to blood clotting to
airway constriction (Chainani, 2003).
