Journal ArticleDOI
Monascus fermentation of dioscorea for increasing the production of cholesterol-lowering agent--monacolin K and antiinflammation agent--monascin.
TL;DR: In this article, the best substrate for Monascus purpureus NTU 301, with dioscorea as the substrate, was found to produce monacolin K at 2,584 mg kg(-1), which is 5.37 times higher than that resulted when rice is used as a substrate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of red mold rice on antifatigue and exercise-related changes in lipid peroxidation in endurance exercise
TL;DR: The result suggested that the red mold rice supplementation may decrease the contribution of exercise-induced oxidative stress and improve the physiological condition of the rats.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vivo hypolipidemic effects and safety of low dosage Monascus powder in a hamster model of hyperlipidemia
TL;DR: The oral administration of Monascus powder in hyperlipidemia hamster was indeed proven to decrease TC, TG, and LDL-C levels and it was found that the plasma GOT and GPT levels were not significantly increased by feeding Monascus Powder.
Journal ArticleDOI
Monascin and ankaflavin act as novel hypolipidemic and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol-raising agents in red mold dioscorea.
TL;DR: P purified monascin and ankaflavin, unlike monacolin K, were able to perform up-regulation rather than down-regulation on high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels in serum, explaining why RMD showed greater hypolipidemic and HDL-C-raising effect than RMR.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improving the Ratio of Monacolin K to Citrinin Production of Monascus purpureus NTU 568 under Dioscorea Medium through the Mediation of pH Value and Ethanol Addition
TL;DR: Culture pH value, dioscorea concentration, and ethanol concentration were used as the factors of response surface methodology (RSM) to investigate the optimal culture condition for high monacolin K production and low citrinin formation and indicated that pH value may stimulate the formation of monAColin K andcitrinin through increasing Monascus cell amount.
