Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images illustrating curcumin-loaded nanocomplexes (CNCs) deposited on the walls of the stomach and small intestine of hamsters 24 h after oral administration of a high dose of CNCs (1.61 g/kg bw, equivalent to 0.45 g/kg bw of curcumin) and of the recovery group 28 days after the final high-dose CNCs treatment. The SEM images were obtained at 15 kV and recorded using JSM-IT200, JEOL, Japan. The scale bar is 2 μm. The original magnifications were x 7,500.
