In vivo antioxidative effects of curcumin were investigated using a trichloroethylene (TCE)-induced oxidative stress model in mouse liver. Increases in the con-tents of peroxisome and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and decreases in GSH content of mouse liver by the TCE administration were suppressed by the pre-adminis-tration of curcumin. TCE-induced changes in the activities of antioxidative enzyme, such as Cu/Zn-SOD, catalase, glutathione reductase, glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and D-glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), were also diminished by curcumin. These results indi-cate that curcumin significantly suppresses TCE-induced oxidative stress by scavenging var-ious free radicals, and its antioxidative activity seems to be derived from its suppressive ef-fects on the increase in peroxisome content and decrease in GPx and G 6PD activities.
