The benefits of anthocyanin-rich black rice bran extract (ARBE) on the liver of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-intoxicated mice was investigated. Based on the in vivo experiment, the effect of cyanidin-3-glucoside (Cy-3-G) and peonidin-3-glucoside (Pn-3-G), the predominant anthocyanins in ARBE, on CCl4 insulted hepatocytes L-02 was further evaluated. Mice treated with ARBE for 7 weeks by oral administration showed reduced aminotransferase activities in serum, accompanied by enhanced superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity, while tiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), and 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) levels were
