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
