We have investigated the protective effect of polysaccharides from Curcuma kwangsiensis (CKP) against oxidative injury in rats fed high-fat diet. The protective effect of CKP was compared with Lovastatin, a well-known antioxidant. Sixty SD rats were used for the experimental study. Oxidative injury...
