Popis: This study aimed to investigate the effects of curcumin on the expression of antioxidation-related genes in the liver and jejunum and caecum microorganisms of rabbits. A total of 160 IRA rabbits with similar body weight were randomised assigned to 4 groups. The control group received a basal diet, while the experimental groups were given diets supplemented with 50, 100, and 150 g/t curcumin, respectively. The pre-test period spanned 7 days, followed by a 21-day test period. Results revealed a significant upregulation of nuclear factor erythroid-2 related factor 2 (Nrf2) mRNA in the liver and jejunum due to curcumin (p
