Protocol summary

Study aim
Evaluation of gene expression, methylation and secretory level of cytokines and inflammatory chemokines in COPD patients receiving nanocurcumin supplementation compared with patients receiving placebo
Design
30 patients with COPD receiving 80 mg of nanocurcumin daily for 90 days and 30 patients receiving placebo before and after the intervention will receive 10 cc of blood containing anticoagulant to isolate PBMC.
Settings and conduct
This project will be carried out in Tabriz University of Medical Sciences.

Acute and/or active infection. Cancer. Patients with complex cardiovascular diseases (including valvular heart disease, cardiomyopathy, arrhythmia, congenital heart disease, hypertrophy syndrome). Liver and kidney failure. Pregnancy. Patients with life expectancy less than 6 months due to concomitant illness. Under immunosuppressive treatment within 8 weeks of the first screening visit.
Intervention groups
30 patients with COPD receiving 80 mg of nanocurcumin daily for 90 days and 30 patients receiving placebo before and after the intervention will receive 10 cc of blood containing anticoagulant to isolate PBMC.
