Curcumin ameliorates the histopathological damage in LPS-induced sepsis. Male C57BL/6 mice (n = 18) were randomly divided into three groups: a. carboxymethyl cellulose solution. b. LPS (10 mg/kg). c. LPS + Cur (20 mg/kg). (A) The levels of serum AST, BUN were determined using an automatic biochemical analyzer. (B) Hematoxylin and eosin staining of kidney and liver sections from mice assessed 16 h after LPS challenge. C. Representative proportions of macrophage (F4/80⁺CD11c⁺) in spleen from each group were detected using Flow Cytometry (##p < 0.01, ###p < 0.001 vs control; *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001 vs LPS alone).
