| 摘要 | Curcumin is a yellow pigment derived from the rhizomes of ginger family plants, characterized by two phenolic hydroxyl groups and a β-diketone moiety in its structure. As a naturally occurring antioxidant, curcumin demonstrates significant antioxidant capacity through the formation of stable quinones during oxidative processes. The transcription factor Nrf2-mediated signaling pathway serves as a critical cellular antioxidant defense system, preserving cellular homeostasis through regulated antioxidant responses. This paper summarizes the antioxidative physiological roles of curcumin, its regulatory mechanism on reactive oxygen species (ROS) via the Nrf2 pathway, and its current applications in fish feed formulations. |
