Attenuation of proteolysis and muscle wasting by curcumin c3 complex in MAC16 colon tumour-bearing mice

Muscle wasting or cachexia is caused by accelerated muscle protein breakdown via the ubiquitin–proteasome complex. We investigated the effect of curcumin c3 complex (curcumin c3) on attenuation of muscle proteolysis using in vitro and in vivo models. Our in vitro data indicate that curcumin c3 as lo...

Zusammenfassung:Muscle wasting or cachexia is caused by accelerated muscle protein breakdown via the ubiquitin–proteasome complex. We investigated the effect of curcumin c3 complex (curcumin c3) on attenuation of muscle proteolysis using in vitro and in vivo models. Our in vitro data indicate that curcumin c3 as low as 0·50 μg/ml was very effective in significantly inhibiting (30 %; P
