While clinical innovation has improved, cancer or malignant growth stays a genuine medical issue and has been perceived as a significant factor in mortality and morbidity. Current work aimed to define the cardiac defensive effects of curcumin nanoparticles (Cur Nps) against EAC induced cardiac toxicity, injury, and alterations in apoptosis, proliferation, and cytokines immunoreactivity. Forty female mice were aimlessly and equally divided into four groups [Gp1, Control; Gp2, Cur NPs; Gp3, Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC); Gp4, Co-treatment of EAC with Cur NPs (Cur NPs + EAC)]. Serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), phosphocreatine kinase (CPK), creatine kinase myoglobin (CK-MB), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT), cholesterol, triglycerides, potassium ions, cardiac injury, P53, vascular endothelial growth factor protein (VEGF), Bax, and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) expressions were significantly elevated while sodium ions levels were significantly depleted in EAC when compared to control. Co-treatment of EAC with Cur NPs (Cur NPs + EAC) improved these parameters as compared with EAC group. So, our results indicate that; Cur NPs induced protection to the blood and heart tissue during Ehrlich ascites carcinoma.
