Bisphenol A (BPA) has endocrine-disrupting properties. The present study aimed to examine the
possible protective roles of curcumin and taurine against BPA-induced small intestine toxicity in rats. For this
purpose, forty-two adult albino male rats were divided seven equal groups: control, olive oil, curcumin (100 mg
kg-1 daily), taurine (100 mg kg-1 daily), BPA (130 mg kg-1 daily), curcumin+BPA, taurine+BPA. After four weeks on
treatment small intestine tissues were examined for histopathological examinations. BPA caused seriously toxicity
on small intestine tissues, but curcumin and taurine did not have completely protective effects of this damage.
