Life-span of mice treated with a chronic lethal dose of cyclophosphamide was considerably increased by the simultaneous administration of turmeric extract or curcumin (40.8 percent and 91.7 percent respectively ). Similarly leukoplnia produced by cyclophosphamide was reduced by these agents but lowered haemoglobin levels remained unaltered. Increased glutamate-pyruvate transaminase, alkaline phosphates and thiobarbituric acid- reacting material in the liver were also reduced by turmeric and curcumin.
