Zusammenfassung:Methods and compositions for increasing LDL receptor levels in a plurality of cells are disclosed. For example, the methods include providing to the cells a curcumin composition that is at least 15% curcumin II or at least 5% curcumin III, in order to increase LDL receptor levels. In addition, compositions for increasing LDL receptor levels in a plurality of cells are disclosed, which include a curcumin composition consisting of at least 15% curcumin II or at least 5% curcumin III (or combinations of such curcuminoids), along with a pharmaceutically-acceptable solvent, filler, or carrier. Still further, methods and compositions for decreasing MSK1 levels in a plurality of cells are disclosed, which involve administering a curcumin III-enriched composition to the cells.
