Representative liver sections processed for apoptosis assay by TUNEL reaction (x400). (a) Control group. (b) Ethanol-treated group, the black arrows indicated a TUNEL-positive apoptoic hepatocyte found frequently around central vein. (c) and (d) curcumin treatment (400 or 1,200 mg/kg bw a day) showed a decrease of apoptotic hepatocytes.
