The pivotal role of black rice extract and its anthocyanins in regulating postprandial hyperlipidemia involves inhibiting the fat digestive enzyme pancreatic lipase. Additionally, it disrupts crucial steps of fat absorption by interfering with cholesterol micelle formation, interacting with bile acids, inhibiting cholesterol uptake, and suppressing the expression of cholesterol transporters in enterocytes.
