Turmeric extract and curcumin protect the liver from CCl4-induced ROS production. Rats were intraperitoneally 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. a Liver tissue was isolated and loaded with 5 μM dihydroethidium. Fluorescence images were acquired. b Quantitative fluorescence density data. #p < 0.05 vs. the CCl4 group
