1 The results indicated that PE and/or curcumin attenuated TAA-induced liver fibrogenesis, as evidenced by significant improvement in the liver function tests (AST, ALT, ALP, and albumin), oxidative stress biomarkers (MDA, SOD, and GSH), and inflammatory biomarkers (NF-kB, TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, iNOS, TGF-beta, and MPO), compared to TAA group.

2 Moreover, treatment with PE and/or curcumin exerted a significant upregulation of Nrf2/HO-1 gene expressions along with significant downregulation of NF-kB, TGF-beta, and phospho-Smad3 protein expressions, as well as alpha-SMA and collagen-1 gene expressions.
