Abstract: To evaluated the antiobesity effects of anthocyanin-rich extract from black rice on rats with high fat diets-induced obesity. The rats were randomly divided into 4 goups which were fed control, anthocyanin-rich of black rice(AEBR), high fat (HF) or HF+ABER separately for twelve weeks, and then the rats’ blood and tissue samples were collected to analysis. The results showed that dietary ABER significantly prevented the obesity by feeding a high fat diet to rats and inhibited the development of white adiposity and liver weights, and triglyceride level in serum. Conclusion:ABER can ameliorate rat obesity induced by high fat probably through the mechanism of modulating lipid metabolism and accumulation.

Key words: obesity, adiposity, black rice, anthocyanin
