Curcumin Protects -SH Groups and Sulphate Transport after Oxidative Damage in Human Erythrocytes
"Erythrocytes, continuously exposed to oxygen pressure and toxic compounds, are sensitive to oxidative stress, namely acting on integral Band 3 protein, with consequences on cell membranes deformability and anion transport efficiency." "Curcumin is effective in protecting erythrocytes from oxidative stress events at level of cell membrane transport.
