Abstract: Objective: To explore the effect of Defated Rice-germ(DRG) on obesity and hyperlipidemia. Methods: 50 rats were divided into 5 groups randomly according to the level of TC. They were fed with one of the following diets: basal - diet(BD), high-fat-diet(HFD) and high-fat-diet with different dosages of DRG( 20, 100, 300mg/kg bw). All rats were weighted once a week. By the end of the 5th week,the animals were sacrificed and the serum levels of TC, TG, HDL-C were tested and the fat pad around the kidneys and the testicles were dissected off and weighted. Results: The average body weight(bw), the ratio of body fat and BW, the serum levels of TC, TG of the HFD group were significantly higher than those of the BD group. But the average BW, the ratio of body fat and BW, the serum levels of TC,TG of the groups supplemented with dosages of DRG were significantly lower than those of the HFD group. Conclusion: DRG can prevent the formation of obesity and hyperlipidemia .
