Popis: Increases in the risk of infections and malignancy due to immune suppressive therapies of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) have led the researchers to focus on more nontoxic and acceptable natural products like curcumin. Here we investigate whether prophylactic and therapeutic application of the curcumin alters the enzyme activities of paraoxonase (PON), carbonic anhydrase (CA), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) and cytosolic beta-glucosidase in dextran sulphate sodium (DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis mice. Prophylactic application of curcumin resulted in higher MPO activity, less body weight loss and longer colon lengths compared to therapeutic group indicating preventive role of curcumin in IBDs. DSS-induced decrease in liver and serum PON activities were completely recovered by prophylactic administration of curcumin. DSS-induced reduction in liver cytosolic beta-glucosidase activity was not affected by curcumin neither in the prophylactic group nor in the therapeutic group. Erythrocyte CA activity was significantly increased in curcumin groups, however no remarkable change in G6PD activity was observed.
