Curcumin Pretreatment Prevents Potassium Dichromate-Induced Hepatotoxicity, Oxidative Stress, Decreased Respiratory Complex I Activity, and Membrane Permeability Transition Pore Opening

Figure 2

Effect of curcumin on the activity of (a) alanine aminotransferase (ALT), (b) aspartate aminotransferase (AST), (c) lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and (d) alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in plasma of rats treated with K₂Cr₂O₇. Values are mean ± SEM, 𝑛= 5–8. ^a𝑃<0.05 versus control; ^b𝑃<0.05versus K₂Cr₂O₇ (24 h);^c𝑃<0.05versus K₂Cr₂O₇ (48 h).
