Curcumin and Curcuma longa L. extract regulate ROS accumulation in acute and chronic CCl4-models. Rats were intraperitoneally treated with CCl4 (0.1 mL/100 g body weight) one time for 1 day or every other day for 4 weeks. Curcumin (200 mg/kg) or Curcuma longa L. extract (100, 200, and 300 mg/kg) was given once daily. (a) Lipid peroxidation activity was measured in 1 day and 4 week CCl4-treated rats. (b) DHE staining in the liver was measured in 1 day and 4 week CCl4-treated rats. (c) Liver tissues from 1 day and 4 week CCl4-treated rats were stained with 4-HNE, and (d) the staining intensity of 4-HNE-positive cells was calculated. (e) Lipid peroxidation activity was measured in the ER fractions from the liver tissues of CCl4-treated rats. The experiments were repeated three times using tissues from at least three different rats. #P < 0.05, ###P < 0.001 vs. the control group; *P < 0.01, **P < 0.05 vs. the CCl4 group (n = 10 rats per group).
