"I just read that curcumin inhibits an inositol pathway in the brain, suggesting it might have direct mood-regulatory effects."
>>>>>>>>>>>>>Larry---curcumin "inhibits an inositol pathway in the brain"
What is another word for "inhibits" here (just want to understand what 'inhibits a pathway in the brain" means)...does it mean "enables" or "creates" the pathway?
More importantly, I know that in some clinical trials that 12 mg. of inositol/daily has had positive theraputic effects on OCD. Could curcumin, based on your findings that "curcumin inhibits an inositol pathway in the brain", be effectively used in combination w/ inositol to further help some OCD sufferers? I would be VERY grateful for any response! THANKS!
