Anti-oxidative effects of curcumin on immobilization-induced oxidative stress in rat brain, liver and kidney

Restraint stress has been indicated to induce oxidative damage in tissues. Several investigations have reported that curcumin (CUR) may have a protective effect against oxidative stress. The present study was designed to investigate the protective effects of CUR on restraint stress induced oxidative stress damage in the brain, liver and kidneys. For chronic restraint stress, rats were kept in the restrainers for 1 h every day, for 21 consecutive...
