Moreover, the anti‐steatosis and cholesterol‐lowering effects of curcumin against BPA coincided with a significant reduction in intestinal cholesterol absorption and liver cholesterol synthesis, which was modulated by suppressing the expression of sterol regulatory element‐binding protein‐2 (SREBP‐2), Niemann–Pick C1‐like 1 (NPC1L1), and 3‐hydroxy‐3‐methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR) in the small intestine and liver. Here, HMGCR is linked to steatosis.
