ÖZET
Kurkumin; kurkumin (diferuloilmetan) (%77), demetoksikurkumin (%17) ve bisdemethoksikurkumin (%3) olmak üzere Curcuma longa (zerdeçal) bitkisinin kökünden elde edilen doğal bir üründür. Diyabet, bozulmuş glukoz seviyesi ile devam eden metabolik bir hastalık olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Dünya nüfusunun artması ile Tip 2 diyabet görülme sıklığındaki artış ilişkilidir. 2040 yılında toplam dünya nüfusunun %13,5'i kadarının diyabetli olacağı tahmin edilmektedir. Diyabet ve diyabetin komplikasyonları sonucu sadece 2012 yılında 1,5 milyon insan ölmüştür. Dünya çapında büyük bir prevalansı olan diyabet ve komplikasyonları ile baş edebilmek için etkili önleme yöntemleri gereklidir. Bu yöntemlerden birsi de kurkumin takviyesi yapılmasıdır. Biyoyararlanım, besin takviyesi olarak kurkumin kullanımında ana konudur. Kurkuminin vücuttan hızlıca atılması ve gastrointestinal sistemden az miktarda absorbe edilememesi biyoyarlanımını ve farmakokinetik etkilerini sınırlamaktadır. Birçok çalışmada, kurkuminin biyoyararlanımının azlığından bahsedilmektedir ve bu yararlanma oranın artırılması için multidisipliner çalışmalara ihtiyaç olduğu belirtilmektedir. Geleneksel Çin tıbbından bu yana yapılan çalışmalarda; kurkuminin antikanser, antiinflamatuar, antioksidan gibi etkileri olan bir fitokimyasal olduğu belirtilmektedir. Kurkumin insülin direnci, hiperglisemi, hiperlipidemi ve adacık apoptozu ve nekrozu gibi diyabetin önde gelen komplikasyonlarının çoğunu olumlu şekilde etkilediği araştırmalarda gösterilmektedir. Kurkuminin klinik çalışmalarından elde edilen sonuçlarına göre diyabetik nefropati, mikroanjiyopati ve retinopatiyi tedavi etmek için etkili bir ajan olduğu gösterilmiştir. Ancak kurkumin ile ilgili yapılan çalışmaların çok azı diyabet ve komplikasyonları üzerine odaklanmıştır. Bu derlemenin amacı, kurkuminin diyabet ve komplikasyonlarını önlemek için kullanılabilirliğini incelemektir.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Kurkumin; diyabet; retinopati; nöropati; demetoksikurkumin; diyabetin komplikasyonları
ABSTRACT
Curcumin; Curcuma (turmeric) is a natural product obtained from the root of the Curcuma Longa (turmeric) plant, which is curcumin (diferuloylmethane) (77%), demetoxicurcumin (17%) and bisdemethoxycurcumin (3%). Diabetes is defined as a metabolic disease that continues with impaired glucose level. The increase in the world population is associated with an increase in the frequency of type 2 diabetes. It is estimated that 13.5% of the total world population will have diabetes in 2040. As a result of diabetes and its complications, 1.5 million people died in 2012 alone. Effective prevention methods are necessary to deal with diabetes and its complications, which is a major prevalence worldwide. One of these methods is to make curcumin supplements. Bioavailability is the main issue in the use of curcumin as a nutritional supplement. The rapid removal of curcumin from the body and its low absorption from the gastrointestinal tract limits its bioavailability and pharmacokinetic effects. In many studies, the low bioavailability of curcumin is mentioned and it is stated that multidisciplinary studies are needed to increase this utilization rate. In studies conducted since traditional Chinese medicine, curcumin is stated to be a phytochemical with effects such as anti cancer, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. Studies show that curcumin has positive effects on many of the leading complications of diabetes, such as insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, and islet apoptosis and necrosis. Curcumin has been shown to be an effective agent to treat diabetic nephropathy, microangiopathy and retinopathy, according to results from clinical trials. However, few studies of curcumin have focused on diabetes and its complications. The aim of this review is to examine the usability of curcumin to prevent diabetes and its complications.
