Abstract

Curcumin is a pigment found in Indian saffron
spices, also known as turmeric. The aim of this study is to investigate the
antioxidant effect of curcumin, a phytochemical, on the blood tissue of rats. In the study, 24 Wistar rats were 8 weeks old,
randomly divided into 2 groups which were the control group and the
experimental group was fed with curcumin supplement. Curcumin supplemented group
was fed at 300mg/kg/day curcumin dissolved in corn oil by oral gavage for 12
days. 24 hours after the last feeding, TAC (Total Antioxidant Capacity) and TOC
(Total Oxidant Capacity)  were analyzed
in blood samples. In curcumin supplemented group TAC decreased significantly
than control group (p<0,05). When the TOC is examined, in curcumin
supplemented group TOC was evaluated statistically higher than in the control
group (p<0,05). Results of the study show that curcumin strengthens the
antioxidant defense system.
