Effects of ovariectomy and curcumin supplementation on blood and liver antioxidant enzyme activities. Total superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, catalase (CAT) activity, and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity were measured in blood (a) and liver (b) samples. Data are mean ± SEM (sham n = 8, OVX n = 11, OVX 50 n = 8, and OVX 100 n = 8) and the experiments were performed in triplicate. Statistical difference from sham group: ^b P < 0.05 (one-way ANOVA followed by the post hoc Tukey's test).
