We also found that supplementation with curcumin inhibited intestinal cholesterol absorption and lowered serum and liver cholesterol levels in HFD‐fed hamsters and apolipoprotein E knockout mice, preventing HFD‐induced hepatic steatosis and atherosclerosis (Feng, Zou, Zhang, Li, & Lu, 2017; Zhang et al., 2018; Zou et al., 2018). The gene discussed is APOE; the disease is atherosclerosis.
