Curcumin activates SIRT3 to protect bone structure in diabetic mice

In a new Scientific Reports study, curcumin protected bone-forming cells from high-glucose damage by activating the SIRT3/FoxO3a/NRF2 antioxidant pathway and restoring mitochondrial health. In diabetic mice, curcumin improved bone density and oxidative balance, highlighting its potential in osteoporosis prevention.
