Abstract

Helicobacter pylori(H. pylori) is a spiral shaped bacterium that lives and multiplies in the lining of the stomach, and it is a common cause of many stomach diseases including peptic ulcers.this study aims to show the effect of curcumin on helicobacter pylori in experimental rats .Sixty adulte male albino rats, weighting (140+10g) were randomly into six groups (10 rats each). as follows: Group (1): Comprised of normal rats as negative control groups(-ve), Group (2): Comprised of rats those were subjected to oral administration of curcuma aqueous extract (CAE) at a dose (200 mg/kg/day) . Group (3): Comprised of rats those were subjected to oral administration of curcuma aqueous extract (CAE) at a dose (400 mg/kg/day) .Group (4): Comprised of rats those were subjected  to injection of (1mL/rat) twice daily)  H. pylori act as a positive control(+ve).Group (5): Comprise of rats infected by H. pylori those were treated oral with at a dose (200 mg/kg/day) CAE andGroup (6): Comprise of rats infected by H. pylori those were treated oral with at a dose (400 mg/kg/day) CAE, for six weeks . At the end of the experiment, the rats were sacrificed, and serum was collected for biochemical analyses . Moreover The results revealed that curcuma aqueous extract 15Phenolic constituents . besides results indicated that the rats treated with curcuma aqueous extract 200 and 400 mg/kg/day showed significantly , decreases in serum cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose and LDL-C matched with significant increased in serum HDL-C, In addition , at (p≤0.05) there were decreased ,serum ALT, AST, ALP, and GGT, Also,  serum urea, creatinine, and uric acid levels, when compared with group (4), So this study recommended to use curcumin in diets for it is many benefits.
