2. Curcumin increases microvascular blood volume in humans (1.08 ± 0.02 vs baseline 1.0 at 180 min, 1.08 ± 0.03 at 240 min).

1. Type II muscle fiber capillary-to-fiber ratio is associated with microvascular blood volume in humans (r = 0.81, p < 0.001).

   “A moderate (r = 0.59, p < 0.05) and strong (r = 0.81, p < 0.001) correlation was observed between type II muscle fiber capillary-to-fiber ratio and the microvascular blood volume increase”
