Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: Objective: molecules. Materials and Methods: Eight rats were subjected to surgery, randomly divided into two groups, and treated orally with turmeric (200 mg/kg), or olive oil. Four oil-treated rats without bone fracture were used as control group. After six weeks of treatment, the femurs of animals were examined for radiological, histological, and gene expression analysis. Results: ratio (p=0.01) in femoral bone tissue. Conclusion: Our findings indicated the turmeric ability to facilitate bone hemostasis and optimize the expression of key markers involved in the bone metabolism.
