Just Accepted “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication. They are posted online prior to technical editing, formatting for publication and author proofing. The American Chemical Society provides “Just Accepted” as a free service to the research community to expedite the dissemination of scientific material as soon as possible after acceptance. “Just Accepted” manuscripts appear in full in PDF format accompanied by an HTML abstract. “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been fully peer reviewed, but should not be considered the official version of record. They are accessible to all readers and citable by the Digital Object Identifier (DOI®). “Just Accepted” is an optional service offered to authors. Therefore, the “Just Accepted” Web site may not include all articles that will be published in the journal. After a manuscript is technically edited and formatted, it will be removed from the “Just Accepted” Web site and published as an ASAP article. Note that technical editing may introduce minor changes to the manuscript text and/or graphics which could affect content, and all legal disclaimers and ethical guidelines that apply to the journal pertain.

ABSTRACT: We previously demonstrated that curcumin reduces cholesterol

2

absorption in Caco-2 cells through down-regulating NPC1L1 expression, but the in

3

vivo effect of curcumin on intestinal cholesterol absorption remains unknown. The

4

present study was aimed to investigate the effects and mechanisms of curcumin

5

consumption on cholesterol absorption in hamsters. Male hamsters were fed a

6

high-fat diet supplemented with or without curcumin (0.05% w/w) for 12 weeks.

Curcumin supplementation significantly decreased serum total cholesterol
