Protective effect of curcumin against BLM-induced changes in lung collagen (A), and alveolar macrophage release of TNF-α (B), superoxide anion (C) and nitrite (D). Results shown are mean±s.d. of six independent observations in each group. AM: alveolar macrophage; SA: saline; CC: curcumin; BLM: bleomycin. *,**Significantly (P<0.001, P<0.0001, respectively) higher than all groups; †,‡,§significantly (P<0.01, P<0.005, P<0.001, respectively) lower than BLM; ¶significantly (P<0.001) lower than BLM; #significantly (P<0.01) higher than curcumin-treated controls.
