Protective effect of curcumin on paracetamol induced changes in serum levels of renal and hepatic parameters in Wistar rats
| Control | Curcumin | Paracetamol | Curcumin + Paracetamol | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Urea (mg/dl) | 35.6 ± 3.8 | 35.3 ± 2.3 | 42.0 ± 1.5* | 31.0 ± 1.0# |
| Albumin (g/dl) | 3.2 ± 0.1 | 3.1 ± 0.1 | 4.8 ± 0.4* | 3.5 ± 0.1# |
| GOT (U/L) | 83 ± 2 | 72.7 ± 9.6 | 156 ± 9.4* | 90.3 ± 3.7# |
| GPT(U/L) | 58.3 ± 6 | 64.7 ± 6.01 | 136 ± 27.9* | 98 ± 4.9# |
Values are means ± standard error (SEM) for 3 independent experiments per each treatment. Values are statistically significant at *p < 0.05 Vs. control and #p < 0.05 Vs. paracetamol group.
