Effect of curcumin (CUR) and nano-curcumin (nCUR) on lipid peroxidation and anti-oxidants of diabetic rats

Parameter	Control	Diab	Diab + CUR	Diab + nCUR
SOD	58.66^a ± 5.32	10.40^d ± 1.12	21.38^c ± 1.24	43.14^b ± 2.18
GSH	71.34^a ± 3.96	11.56^d ± 1.01	22.96^c ± 1.83	44.00^b ± 3.52
MDA	9.16^c ± 0.97	47.48^a ± 4.15	26.50^b ± 1.53	17.74^b ± 0.88

Each value represents the mean ± SE (n = 5). Values with different superscript letters within the same row are significantly different at P < 0.05. Diab, STZ-induced diabetic rats; Diab + CUR, STZ-induced diabetic rats were given a daily oral dose of 100 mg/kg/day of curcumin were dissolved in carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) 1:10 (w/v); Diab + nCUR, STZ-induced diabetic rats that were given a daily oral dose of 100 mg/kg/day of nanocurcumin were dissolved in carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) 1:10 (w/v)
