We examined the correlation between amount of curcumin intake and its physiological effects on indices of liver function, serum and liver lipid profiles in rats. Animals were fed diets containing 0.5, 5 and 50mg curcumin per 100g body weight for 28 days.
HDL-cholesterol concentrations of rats fed curcumin diets were significantly higher (P<0.05) than those of the control group, and serum TG concentration of rats fed the x100 curcumin diets was significantly lower (P<0.05) than that of the x1 curcumin group. Serum TG concentration of rats fed curcumin diets tended to decrease in a curcumin dose-dependent manner. These results indicate that curcumin intake can improve serum lipid profiles effectively.
