Similarly, 4000 mg/day of curcuminoid supplementation 3 days prior to and 5 days post coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) was shown to reduce post-operative oxidative stress (malondialdehyde: MDA), inflammation (C-reactive protein: CRP) and myocardial infarction compared to a placebo control [37]. The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is myocardial infarction.
