Abstract
The present study was designed to study the protective effect of curcumin and the bad effects of dietary high fat diet (beef tallow) which causes non alcoholic fatty liver disease which is very harmful affecting health ,also our study was designed to study the important role of curcumin against HFD-induced obesity, on glutathione state ( total glutathione ,Reduced glutathione ,oxidized glutathione ,glutathione Quotient)as well as the activity of glutathione reductase and glutathione peroxidase in hepatic tissue together with serum insulin,serum blood glucose , triglycerides ,total cholesterol,HDL,LDL,VLDL, total bilirubin, malondialdhyde and following body weight gain in the experiment . We prepared and divided 60 rats weighs range (165:170g) equally in 4 groups (control-curcumin –HFD- (HFD+curcumin)) for 12 weeks . our results shows a significant increase in the hepatic glutathione state and serum level of insulin in both curcumin group when compared to control and also in HFD+curcumin when compared to HFD group . asignificant decrease in blood glucose ,lipid profile ,MDA and body weight gain.In the contrast ,a significant decrease in hepatic glutathione state and serum insulin and a significant increase in serum blood glucose, lipid profile ,total bilirubin ,MDA,reduction of serum insulin and increase in the body weight gain
