Immunohistochemical and molecular study on the protective effect of curcumin against hepatic toxicity induced by paracetamol in Wistar rats

Table 3 Protective effect of curcumin on paracetamol induced changes in hepatic antioxidant activity in Wistar rats

	Control	Curcumin	Paracetamol	Curcumin + Paracetamol
MDA (nmol/g tissue)	9.78 ± 1.9	10.7 ± 1.0	18.2 ± 0.5*	12.6 ± 0.4^#
Catalase (U/g tissue)	33 ± 6.1	37 ± 1.1*	21 ± 0.4*	33.9 ± 2.6^#

Values are means ± standard error (SEM) 3 independent experiments per each treatment. Values are statistically significant at *p < 0.05 Vs. control and #p < 0.05 Vs. paracetamol group.
