What are the key metabolic effects of curcumin in rodent models of MetS?

Label:chem

Topic
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is characterized by obesity, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, and inflammation.
Answer
Body weight: Significantly reduced in rats (MD = −42.10 g) and mice (MD = −2.91 g).
Blood glucose: Decreased in rats (MD = −55.59 mg/dL) and mice (MD = −28.69 mg/dL).
Triglycerides: Lowered in rats (MD = −70.17 mg/dL) and mice (MD = −24.57 mg/dL).
Total cholesterol: Reduced in rats (MD = −35.77 mg/dL) and mice (MD = −52.61 mg/dL).
LDL cholesterol: Decreased in rats (MD = −69.34 mg/dL) and mice (MD = −42.93 mg/dL).
HDL cholesterol: Increased in rats (MD = +11.57 mg/dL) but not significantly in mice.
