ABSTRACT
Background: Antioxidants have played an important role in maintaining physiological homeostasis. Recent literature emphasizes potential therapeutic effects of curcumin (antioxidants) found in natural products that displayed anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects applicable in preventing oxidative stress induced injury, which characterizes their pathogenesis.
Materials and methods: HeLa cell line and cervical cancer biopsies (CCB) were treated with varying dose of curcumin to determine its effects. Thereafter hydrogen peroxide (0-10nM) - a ROS generating compound was co-cultured with varying doses of curcumin. The effect of these compounds on Superoxide dismutase and Glutathione peroxidase activity was assessed.
Results: The activity of SOD and GPx was found to be affected by the nearly similar magnitude in cervical cancer biopsies & hela cell line.
Conclusion: Comparative efficacies of natural antioxidants were found to be similar activity in cervical cancer biopsies (CCB) and heLa cell line.
Keywords: Curcumin, SOD, GPx, HeLa and Cervical Cancer.
