Curcumin protects against iron overload-induced autophagic cell death in vivo (n = 15). a—Cell viability. b—LIP in the cells. c—A representative immunoblot analysis of LC3. d—Peripheral blood test. e, f—SOD2 (e) and SIRT3 (f) activity in mice treated with curcumin. The results are expressed as a percentage of the control group, which is set at 100%. The values are presented as the means ± SEM, **p < 0.05 vs. the control group, ^##p < 0.05 vs. the FAC group
