Mancozeb (MZ) is a widely used ethylene-bis-dithiocarbamate fungicide in agriculture causing hepatoxic and genotoxic effects in rats. Curcumin (CUR) has various pharmacological effects including antioxidant and antiinflammatory properties. This study investigated the efficacy of CUR in mitigating MZ-induced hepatotoxicity and genotoxicity in rats. Twenty-four male rats were divided into four equal groups; group I (control) was given carboxymethyl cellulose, group II was orally administered CUR (100 mg/kg b.wt), group III was gavaged with MZ (750 mg/kg b.wt), and group IV was co-treated with MZ and CUR at the same doses daily for 10 weeks. As a result, the concurrent treatment with CUR and MZ minimized the increased levels of liver function markers in serum, lipid peroxidation, pro-inflammatory mediators and DNA damage parameters in liver. In addition, CUR administration improved the depleted markers of hepatic antioxidant status in MZ-treated rats. Moreover, CUR protected the liver against the histological alterations elicited by MZ exposure and also, reduced the immunopositive reactivity of pro-apoptotic p53 in cytoplasm of hepatocytes. The present findings suggest that CUR exerts a significant protective effect against MZ-induced hepatotoxicity and genotoxicity.
