Modulation Effects of Curcumin on Erythrocyte Ion-Transporter Activity
Figure 3
(a) In vitro dose-dependent effect of curcumin (10−5 M to 10−8 M) on lipid hydroperoxides (ROOH) in Wistar rat erythrocyte subjected to oxidative stress (t-BHP, 10−5 M). (b) In vivo effect of curcumin (340 mg/kg b.w. and 170 mg/kg b.w. oral) on lipid hydroperoxides (ROOH) in Wistar rats subjected to oxidative stressed (HgCl2, 5 mg/kg b.w.). ROOH value expressed in terms of nmole/mg erythrocytes membrane protein. Values are mean ± SD.
