Monascinol from Monascus pilosus-fermented rice exhibits hypolipidemic effects by regulating cholesterol and lipid metabolism

Monascinol (Msol), a novel yellow pigment produced in red mold rice (RMR) fermented by Monascus pilosus SWM-008, has a structure similar to monascin (MS), suggesting potential lipid-regulating properties. Therefore, this study investigated the hypolipidemic effects and mechanisms of Msol in a hyperl...
