The antioxidant effects of curcumin were measured in the serum of different groups. Benzopyrene treated groups exhibited a decreased level of Glutathione peroxidase (GPx), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and total antioxidant capacity enzymes as compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Treatment of curcumin (50 mg/kg b.w.) in BaP administered rats increased the levels of SOD, CAT, GPx, and total antioxidant capacity significantly compared to the BaP treated group (p < 0.05).
