Abstract: The effects of curcumin on the biochemical indices of blood, liver and heart tissues of exercise rat were studied in this test by intensity endurance training model. The results showed that the curcumin could significantly decrease the activities of SGOT and SGPT (P<0.05) and also the content of MDA (p<0.05), but increase the content of Hb (p<0.05), and the activities of GSH-Px and CAT (p<0.05) in serum, and also increase the activities of SOD, CAT, GSH-Px in heart tissues (p<0.05), and of GSH-Px in liver (p<0.05) while decrease the content of MDA in liver (p<0.05). These indicated that curcumin had strong functions on enhancing the capabilities of blood, liver and heart tissues antioxidant to clearing the free radicals and to promot the rats exercise ability.
