Curcumin also proved, in studies, to suppress hepatic stellate cells and decrease fibrosis which may delay fibrosis in chronic liver diseases. It has an anti-inflammatory activity due to isoquinoline alkaloids in chelidonium- its curcumin content inhibits prostaglandins while the volatile oils suppress acute edema by inhibition of hyaluronidase enzyme. Heparsan has a choleretic effect, which stimulates production of bile and pancreatic digestive enzymes that improves dyspepsia. It also has a cholecystokinetic effect.
