Abstract
INTRODUCTION: It is well known that there is a strong linkage between obesity, systemic low-grade inflammation, and oxidative stress in the pediatric population. Possible strategies that might control obesity and its relevant problems in this crucial group are of utmost importance. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of curcumin supplements on inflammation, oxidative stress, and chemerin levels in adolescent girls. METHODS: Totally, 60 overweight and obese adolescent girls were randomly assigned to either placebo or intervention group in a randomized placebo-controlled parallel trial design. Adolescents consumed one 500-mg curcumin or placebo per day along with a slight weight loss diet for 10 weeks. High-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukin 6 (IL-6), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), malondialdehyde (MDA), chemerin levels, and anthropometric measurements were assessed at the beginning and end of the trial. RESULTS:Curcumin supplementation had a significant effect on IL-6 levels and oxidative stress markers including TAC and MDA in crude model. After controlling the effects of confounders, curcumin supplementation had a substantial effect on inflammation (hs-CRP and IL-6) and oxidative stress (TAC) marker of adolescents. DISCUSSION: Ten weeks of curcumin supplementation had beneficial effects on inflammation and oxidative stress markers among postpubescent overweight and obese girl adolescents.
