Door Posted April 23, 2013 Report Posted April 23, 2013 Curcumin acts as anti-tumorigenic and hormone-suppressive agent in murine and human pituitary tumour cells in vitro and in vivo http://erc.endocrinology-journals.org/content/16/4/1339.full Also Growth suppression of mouse pituitary corticotroph tumor AtT20 cells by curcumin: a model for treating Cushing's disease. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20405005 And Curcumin (diferuloylmethane) inhibits cell proliferation, induces apoptosis, and decreases hormone levels and secretion in pituitary tumor cells. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18450960 After eating curry in my eggs and tuna every chance I get I've noticed a difference in certain things. I know that there is evidence to suggest curcumin is anti carcinogenic and anti inflammatory and I attribute the changes to the anti inflammatory effect. But I still got curious....so I decided to look up turmeric/curcumin and pituitary tumors and this is what I found. Just thought it was interesting.
twinkie Posted April 23, 2013 Report Posted April 23, 2013 Hmmmm.....that is interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Door Posted April 23, 2013 Author Report Posted April 23, 2013 Very interesting indeed. I think, as hard as this will be for me, I'm going to stop the curry powder until I finish testing. Just to be on the safe side...
wolfie2012 Posted April 23, 2013 Report Posted April 23, 2013 Oh, interesting...about 2 years ago I started using Tumeric daily to try to make head way with my Hidradenitis Suppurativa. I noticed a very small improvement in new outbreaks, but I didn't like the taste it left and I didn't think it made that much difference... But now I wonder... I have long since decided the boil problem is a Cushing's symptom ...I think I can realistically put the start of Cushing's around the time it started. Well, maybe it just gave me more time to not know what was coming! Mags
BDen13 Posted April 23, 2013 Report Posted April 23, 2013 Hmm Interesting - these papers come from the same place my endo works. I wonder if they're still working on this or if they hit a dead end.
djphelyne Posted April 23, 2013 Report Posted April 23, 2013 I've been growing tumeric. It grows like ginger. You can take it in supplement form, too. I'm not a big fan of eating curry often, but will take supplements. however, I'm not now for the same reason, door. I want accurate testing. Tumeric really is proving to be a superfood. Love more research is being done on such things.
