The effects of curcumin on abdominal withdrawal reflex (AWR) to colorectal distension in rats treated with DSS. DSS produced increase in AWR score at all intensities of stimuli (20/40/60/80 mmHg). Repetitive oral administration of curcumin dose dependently decreased the AWR score, especially, higher dose of curcumin (60 mg/kg) significantly reduced AWR score at 20, 40, and 60 mmHg (*P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001 vs. saline treatment, two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni’s posttest). Naive: normal control group (n = 7); Saline: DSS + saline group (n = 7); Curcumin: DSS + curcumin (20, 60 mg/kg, n = 8 for each dose).
