The effects of curcuminoids on lipids were not found to be dependent on the duration of supplementation .
Conclusion : This meta- analysis has shown that curcuminoid therapy significantly reduces plasma triglycerides and increases HDL-C levels
ABSTRACT Objective : The aim of this systematic review and meta- analysis was to determine and clarify the impact of curcuminoids on  serum lipid levels .
Effects of supplementation with curcuminoids on dyslipidemia in obese patients: a randomized crossover trial.
Dyslipidemia is a leading risk factor for cardiovascular disease and is also a common feature of obesity . Curcumin is a bioactive phytochemical with well-known antioxidant , anti-inflammatory , and cardioprotective properties . The present study investigated the hypolipidemic activity of curcumin in obese individuals . Participants ( n = 30 ) were treated with curcuminoids ( 1 g/day ) , or placebo in a r and omized , double-blind , placebo-controlled , crossover trial . Serum concentrations of total cholesterol , triglycerides , low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol , together with anthropometric parameters and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein were measured before and after each treatment period . Anthropometric parameters including weight , BMI , waist circumference , hip circumference , arm circumference , and body fat remained statistically unchanged by the end of trial ( p > 0.05 ) . As for the lipid profile parameters , serum triglycerides were significantly reduced following curcumin supplementation ( p = 0.009 ) . However , curcuminoids were not found to affect serum levels of total cholesterol , low-density lipoprotein cholesterol , high-density lipoprotein cholesterol , and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein ( p > 0.05 ) . In summary , the findings of the present study indicated that curcuminoid supplementation ( 1 g/day for 30 days ) leads to a significant reduction in serum triglycerides concentrations but do not have a significant influence on other lipid profile parameters as well as body mass index and body fat
