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 .
Investigation of the effects of solid lipid curcumin on cognition and mood in a healthy older population
Curcumin possesses many properties which may prevent or ameliorate pathological processes underlying age-related cognitive decline , dementia or mood disorders . These benefits in pre clinical studies have not been established in humans . This r and omized , double-blind , placebo-controlled trial examined the acute ( 1 and 3 h after a single dose ) , chronic ( 4 weeks ) and acute-on-chronic ( 1 and 3 h after single dose following chronic treatment ) effects of solid lipid curcumin formulation ( 400 mg as Longvida ® ) on cognitive function , mood and blood biomarkers in 60 healthy adults aged 60–85 . One hour after administration curcumin significantly improved performance on sustained attention and working memory tasks , compared with placebo .  Working memory and mood ( general fatigue and change in state calmness , contentedness and fatigue induced by psychological stress ) were significantly better following chronic treatment . A significant acute-on-chronic treatment effect on alertness and contentedness was also observed . Curcumin was associated with significantly reduced total and LDL cholesterol and had no effect on hematological safety measures . To our knowledge this is the first study to examine the effects of curcumin on cognition and mood in a healthy older population or to examine any acute behavioral effects in humans . Results highlight the need for further investigation of the potential psychological and cognitive benefits of curcumin in an older population
