    In vitro:

    • the coculture model that we previously developed to analyze endogenous hepcidin expression, and
    • human hepatic cells line (HepG2) stimulated or not by IL-6 which governs the STAT3 pathway, transfected with gene reporter constructs containing hepcidin promoter.

Effect of Curcumin on Iron Metabolism in Healthy Volunteer
Effect of Curcumin on Iron Metabolism in Healthy Volunteer

The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of curcumin, administrated orally, on iron metabolism in healthy volunteers. Iron metabolism will be describe by hepcidin expression that the investigators observed in vitro and serum hepcidin levels.
