Effect of curcumin on the (A) ROS accumulation in hepatocytes and the (B) MMP in the hepatic mitochondrial fraction of broilers reared under heat stress. The results are expressed as the mean ± SE (n = 8). Columns labeled with different letters are significantly different (P < 0.05). NT group = broilers fed a basal diet at a normal temperature (22 ± 1 °C); HT group = broilers fed a basal diet at a high ambient temperature (34 ± 1 °C for 8 h and 22 ± 1 °C for the remaining time); CUR50 group = broilers fed a basal diet with 50-mg/kg curcumin at a high ambient temperature (34 ± 1 °C for 8 h and 22 ± 1 °C for the remaining time); CUR100 group = broilers fed a basal diet with 100-mg/kg curcumin at a high ambient temperature (34 ± 1 °C for 8 h and 22 ± 1 °C for the remaining time); CUR200 group = broilers fed a basal diet with 200-mg/kg curcumin at a high ambient temperature (34 ± 1 °C for 8 h and 22 ± 1 °C for the remaining time).
