Curcumin Improves Biomolecules Associated with Renal Function and Attenuates Oxidative Injury and Histopathological Changes in Potassium-Induced Toxicity in Rats’ Kidney

The protective effect of curcumin on potassium bromate (KBrO 3 )–induced renal damage was investigated in vivo. Treatment with KBrO 3 (20 mg/kg bw) caused a significant increase in arginase and adenosine deaminase (ADA) activities in rats’ kidney. However, oral administration of curcumin (20 mg/kg b...

Zusammenfassung:The protective effect of curcumin on potassium bromate (KBrO 3 )–induced renal damage was investigated in vivo. Treatment with KBrO 3 (20 mg/kg bw) caused a significant increase in arginase and adenosine deaminase (ADA) activities in rats’ kidney. However, oral administration of curcumin (20 mg/kg bw) caused a significant reduction in ADA and arginase activities in KBrO 3  + CUR group. Furthermore, nitric oxide level was significantly low in KBrO 3 group compared with the control. After treatment with curcumin in KBrO 3  + CUR group, nitric oxide levels increased significantly ( P
