| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Recently, we have revealed that the cholesterol absorption inhibitor ezetimibe promoted reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) in hamsters.Some polyphenols have reported to enhance cholesterol efflux from macrophages. Several papers reported that curcumin and qercetin inhibited cholesterol absorption in vitro, it remains unclear whether it affects RCT functions. Therefore, we examined whether administration of curcumin or quercetin to hamsters fed a high cholesterol diet regulates RCT from macrophages, but they did not increase RCT.In conclution, curcumin and quercetin did not affect the inhibition of cholesterol absorption and enhance RCT from the macrophages under the condition of our study.
