The effect of anthocyanins extracted from black soybean ( Glycine max L. ) on body weight, adipose tissue weight, and serum lipid was evaluated in rats fed the high fat diet. Rats were raised on a normal diet (ND, based on the AIN‐93M diet), high fat diet (HFD, supplemented with 16% lard oil in the ND), HFD containing 10% black soybean, or HFD containing 0.37% black soybean anthocyanins. Weight gain was significantly lowered in the rats fed HFD plus black soybean anthocyanins compared with the rats fed HFD alone. The weight of organs or tissues included liver, epididymal and perirenal adipose tissues was decreased in rats fed anthocyanins compared with the rats fed HFD. The black soybean anthocyanins added diet was also effective in improving the lipid profile. It reduced the levels of serum triglyceride (TG) and cholesterol and increased HDL‐ cholesterol level of rats fed HFD. These results indicate that black soybean anthocyanins have an antiobesity effect, which can reverse the effects of HFD on body weight, adipose tissue weight, and serum lipid contents.
