claimWhile transformation successfully reduced the skew of all the relevant variables, the Shapiro–Wilk test was still highly statistically significant (< 0.05) for some variables (LDH, platelets, hs-CRP, PC, isoprostanes and IL-6) and therefore these data were analysed with a generalised linear mixed model (GLMM) using a gamma distribution and link log function.

topicTurmeric Exercise Soreness Meta-Analysis
claimBackground Turmeric may alleviate exercise-induced muscle soreness (delayed onset muscle soreness) and muscular function loss due to the strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities of its active compounds, the curcuminoids.
