Curcumin Mediated Attenuation of Carbofuran Induced Oxidative Stress in Rat Brain

Table 2

Effects of carbofuran and curcumin on the oxidative stress index in the brain stem of rat expressed as the ratio of prooxidant (P)/antioxidants (A).

	Control	15% CF	30% CF	Cur	Cur + 15% CF	Cur + 30% CF
P/A	0.0163	0.0419	0.0930	0.0153	0.0192	0.0220

The oxidative stress index was calculated by determining the prooxidant (P)/antioxidant (A) ratio as shown in Section 2.
