The study, published in the African Journal of Traditional, Complementary and Alternative Medicines, examined the ability of curcumin to ameliorate the combined diabetes and smoking-induced oxidative stress that cause diabetic cardiomyopathy.
These findings confirmed that curcumin has a protective effect on cardiac tissues against the combined oxidative stress induced by diabetes and nicotine.
