Antioxidant effects of curcumin in spinal cord injury in rats Siçanlarda spinal kord yaralanmsinda curcuminin antioksidan etkileri

SOD level in the curcumin group was higher than in the control group (p<0.000) and methylprednisolone group (p<0.012). MDA level in the curcumin group was lower than in the control group (p<0.042). Similarly, the MDA level in the methylprednisolone group was lower than in the control group (p<0.001). CONCLUSION The results of the present study show that curcumin effectively protects the spinal cord tissues against oxidative damage.
