1.	Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (MODY) 01/01/2012 - "The inhibitory potential showed by turmerin against enzymes linked to type 2 diabetes, as well as its moderate AO capacity, could rationalise the traditional usage of turmeric rhizome preparations against diabetes."
2.	Myotoxicity 03/01/2008 - "Turmerin is a protein from Turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) with a relative molecular mass of 14 kDa. The protein inhibits the enzymatic activity and neutralizes the pharmacological properties, such as cytotoxicity, oedema and myotoxicity of multitoxic phospholipase A2 (NV-PLA2) of cobra (Naja naja) venom at a 1:2.5 molar ratio of NV-PLA2:Turmerin.
