Abstract

Ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation is known to induce skin damage, including erythema, roughness, sagging, wrinkles, and reduced skin moisture, contributing to premature aging. Turmeric (Curcuma longa Linn.) contains curcumin, an active compound with potent anti-inflammatory properties. This study investigated the effect of turmeric ethanol extract on IL-6 and IL-10 levels, as well as skin moisture, in UVB-exposed rats. A total of 24 Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups: healthy controls (K1), UVB-exposed without treatment (K2), UVB-exposed treated with turmeric ethanol extract at 100 mg/kg BW (K3), and 200 mg/kg BW (K4). The extract was administered orally for 14 days. IL-6 and IL-10 levels were measured using ELISA, and skin moisture was assessed macroscopically. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA. Rats in groups K2, K3, and K4 exhibited very dry skin, redness, visible wrinkles, and peeling following UVB exposure. IL-6 levels were significantly lower in treated groups, with the lowest levels observed in K4 (1.85 ± 0.24 ng/L), compared to K1 (4.36 ± 0.75 ng/L) and K2 (4.46 ± 0.74 ng/L) (p = 0.000). IL-10 levels increased in the treated groups, notably in K3 (376.48 ± 78.24 pg/mL) and K4 (351.06 ± 78.24 pg/mL), compared to K1 (285.34 ± 45.54 pg/mL) and K2 (306.89 ± 45.54 pg/mL) (p = 0.001). These findings suggest that oral administration of turmeric ethanol extract modulates inflammatory responses by reducing IL-6 and enhancing IL-10 in UVB-exposed skin, although significant dryness persists.

Abstract

Continuous exposure to ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation can induce photoaging and accelerate premature skin aging. Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a medicinal plant that contains curcumin, an active compound known for its anti-inflammatory properties and its role in accelerating wound healing. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of turmeric ethanol extract on TNF-α levels and wound lesion areas in Wistar rats exposed to UVB radiation. A post-test-only control group design was employed, involving 24 Wistar rats divided into four groups: a healthy control group (K1), a negative control group (K2), and two treatment groups receiving oral turmeric ethanol extract at doses of 100 mg/kg BW (K3) and 200 mg/kg BW (K4) for 14 days, with concurrent UVB exposure. TNF-α levels were assessed using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's post hoc test, while wound lesion areas were analyzed using the Kruskal–Wallis test followed by the Mann–Whitney U test. The results showed that the highest TNF-α levels were observed in the healthy control group (129.14 ng/L), although no statistically significant differences were found between groups (p = 0.538). In contrast, a significant difference was observed in wound lesion areas (p < 0.001), with the largest lesions occurring in the negative control group. In conclusion, oral administration of turmeric ethanol extract did not significantly affect TNF-α levels but was effective in reducing the area of wound lesions caused by UVB exposure.
