The study found that CUR nanoemulsion can improve insulin resistance and hyperlipidemia caused by a high-fat high-fructose diet, and have beneficial effects on electrocardiogram, serum enzyme levels, and other biological indicators of rats. It also has a protective effect on hepatic and cardiac oxidative stress and DNA damage.
The relationship between the incidence of cardiovascular abnormalities and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has long been postulated. Curcumin (CUR) is a potential anti-atherosclerotic agent but its poor water solubility hinders its pharmacological use. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the effect of formulation of CUR nanoemulsion prepared using the spontaneous emulsification technique on high fat high fructose (HFHF)-induced hepatic and cardiac complications. Fifty Wistar rats were divided into five groups. CUR nanoemulsion at doses of 5 and 10 mg/kg and conventional powdered CUR at a dose of 50 mg/kg were orally administered daily to rats for two weeks, and compared with normal control and HFHF control. Results revealed that the high dose level of CUR nanoemulsion was superior to conventional CUR in ameliorating the HFHF-induced insulin resistance status and hyperlipidemia, with beneficial impact on rats' recorded electrocardiogram (ECG), serum aspartate aminotransferase (ALT) and alanine aminotransferase (AST) levels, leptin, adiponectin, creatine phosphokinase, lactate dehydrogenase and cardiac troponin-I. In addition, hepatic and cardiac oxidative and nitrosative stresses, oxidative DNA damage and disrupted cellular energy statuses were counteracted. Results were also confirmed by histopathological examination. Practical applications The use of curcumin nanoemulsion could be beneficial in combating hepatic and cardiac complications resulting from HFHF diets.
