Turmeric extract and curcumin protect the liver from CCl4-induced lipid peroxidation. Rats were intraperitoneally (i.p.) injected with CCl4 (0.1 mL/100 g body weight) every other day for 4 weeks. Turmeric extract (100, 200, and 300 mg/kg) and curcumin (200 mg/kg) were given once daily. After liver samples were collected from all sacrificed animals, the levels of lipid peroxidation (a) and MDA + 4-HNE (b) were measured. #p < 0.05 vs. the CCl4 group
