curcumin — decreases malondialdehyde (circulating)
LikelyGrade B, Likely. Human evidence, limited replication or design limits.Findingreplicated ×4“In contrast, nanocurcumin significantly increased total antioxidant capacity (SMD: 1.60; 95% CI: 0.93 to 2.31) and reduced malondialdehyde levels (SMD: -1.93; 95% CI: -3.19 to -0.66), indicating a robust antioxidative effect.”

curcumin — no detected effect on glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c)
LikelyGrade B, Likely. Human evidence, limited replication or design limits.FindingNull resultreplicated ×1“Nanocurcumin supplementation showed no significant effects on fasting blood glucose (SMD: -0.44; 95% CI: -2.16 to 1.28), HbA1c (SMD: 0.19; 95% CI: -1.26 to 1.65), or lipid profile parameters, including total cholesterol, LDL-C, HDL-C and triglycerides (all p > 0.05).”
