Body weight changes in mice and plasma/tissue levels of the curcumin diet and Meriva diet. (A) Experimental design of the curcumin and Meriva diets. (B) Body-weight measurement occurred every other day for 14 days. (C) Plasma concentration of curcumin after two weeks of the curcumin diet or Meriva diet, measured by mass spectrometry. (D) Central and peripheral nervous tissues, liver, kidney, and spleen concentration of curcumin after two weeks of the curcumin diet or Meriva diet, measured by mass spectrometry. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM. n = 8/group. Results were compared using two-way ANOVA (B) with post-hoc Tukey’s test and t-test (C,D) (*: p < 0.05 vs. cur-diet).
