Abstract
There are similar inflammatory reasons behind non-contagious chronic diseases. The prevalence of these diseases increases everyday both in our country and around the world. That's why scientists have begun looking for strong antioxidants that could help prevent and treat such inflammatory diseases. Curcumin is one of those antioxidants. Curcumin is one of the components of turmeric, which belongs to the ginger family. Many studies showed that the curcuminoids in turmeric can be used to prevent and treat cardiovascular, autoimmune and endocrine diseases, cancer as well as various inflammatory diseases. With this study, we aim to interpret these recent studies conducted with curcumin.

At the end of the study, it was seen that the rats that were given feed with the curcumin additive had higher survival rates, that the weight and length of their colons reduced and the tumor burden reduced by 0.5%
Summary
Curcumin is a component derived from turmeric, which is used to add flavor and a yellowish color to dishes. In a study in which Drosophila Melanogaster was exposed to Al3+ metal ion, it has been reported that antioxidant parameters such as catalase, glutathione S-transferase and glutathione decreased and free radical precursors such as NO and H2O2 increased The effect of this oxidative damage caused by Al3+ ion was reported to be eliminated by the curcumin molecule depending on the dose (Oyetayo et al, 2020). A polyphenol derivative, has been reported to have positive effects on learning and verbal memory and to have a protective and therapeutic effect on health problems such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease (Harish et al, 2010)
