Correlations between gene expression (mRNA levels) affected by curcumin. Coordinated changes in gene expression were evaluated by comparing two gene mRNA levels, or marker values [phosphotyrosine (PT) or TREM2:CD33 ratio], in conditions of control diet, Curc-Lo, or Curc-Hi.

| Treatment in Tg2576 | TREM2: TYROBP | TREM2: CD68 | TREM2: PT | iNOS: CD11b | Arg1: (TREM2:CD33) | Arg1: TYROBP |
| Control diet | 0.64*** | 0.77** | n.s. | n.s. | n.s. | n.s. |
| Curcumin-Low (160 ppm) | 0.98** | 0.98** | 0.96** | +0.94** | n.s. | +0.72* |
| Curcumin-High (5000 ppm) | n.s. | n.s. | PT Not determined | n.s. | n.s. | −0.66* |
