Hypoglycemic effects of indica rice resistant starch (IR-RS) were investigated. We prepared IR-RS using a method that combined physical modification and enzyme modification, and the RS content was 47.0%. Differential scanning calorimetry - thermal gravimetric analysis showed that IR-RS have higher...

Objective: This study was to investigate the protection of Corn Peptide and Brown Rice Embryo Tablets (CPT) to alcoholic hepatic injury and explore the mechanism. Methods: Female SD rats were randomly divided into five groups of 400 mg/kg . bw, 1 200 mg/kg . bw and 2 400 mg/kg . bw, negative...

Oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia, and shear stress (physical effect) are risk factors associated with the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Rice bran, a by-product of rice milling process, is known to house polyphenols and vitamins which exhibit potent antioxidant...

Superhongmi is a new rice variety, which was developed for the enrichment of bioactive compounds through cross-breeding three varieties of rice breeds in Korea. The high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with a photodiode array detector quadrupole and tandem time-of-flight mass spectrometry ...

To investigate the effects of dietary supplementation of WGBR on lipid metabolism, C57BL/6J mice were fed a normal chow diet, a high-fat diet based on corn starch, a high-fat diet based on white rice, and low or high dosage of black rice for 12 weeks. WGBR alleviated high-fat diet-induced increase...

We investigated the effects of high amylose rice variety, Dodamssal (DO) (Oryza sativa L.), on glucose homeostasis and lipid metabolism in mice. Experiment 1: Oral administration of DO for 1 week significantly improved glucose and insulin tolerance (p < .001) and reduced plasma triglyceride and...

Purpose: The purpose of this article is to report and summarise various foods consumed with rice that has shown a positive impact on glucose response. The rationale of this review is that it is useful for public health researchers and nutritionists concerning foods that are beneficial in reducing...

Consumption of rice (Oryza sativa) is the major dietary source of cadmium (Cd) for populations with rice as the staple. Little is known about the distribution and chemical speciation of Cd in rice grain, which is critical in determining the bioavailability of Cd to humans. We used synchrotron-based ...

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of feeding high gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-containing black sticky rice giant embryo (BSRGE, Oryza sativa L.) on anxiety-related behavior of C57BL/6 mice. Experimental feedstuff (BSRGE with high GABA+AIN-76A) and control (AIN-76A) were provided...

Rice powder extract (RPE) from black and brown rice (Oryza sativa L. indica) improves hepatic lipid accumulation in obese and diabetic model mice via peroxisomal fatty acid oxidation. RPE showed PPARα agonistic activity which did not differ between black and brown RPE despite a higher anthocyanin...
