Fig. 2. Effect of curcumin on urine albumin levels and 24-hour albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR). (A) At 45 weeks of age, urinary albumin levels of the CUR group in 24-hour urine samples were significantly decreased, compared to the DM group. (B) 24-hour ACR was also significantly decreased, compared to the DM group. Data expressed as mean±SD. ^*p<0.05 vs. CON, ^†p<0.05 vs. DM. CON, control group; DM, diabetic group; CUR, curcumin-treated (100 mg/kg, p.o.) diabetic group.
