The Effects of a Mixture of Brown and Black Rice on Lipid Profiles and Antioxidant Status in Rats
TLDR
Brown and black rice have cardioprotective effects in rats fed different combinations of grains, and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances in liver is shown to be higher in rats in the order of those fed WH, WHBR, WHBL and BRBL.Abstract:
Background: The present study was designed to investigate the influence of natural brown and black rice consumption on serum lipid parameters and hepatic enzyme activities in rats fread more

Is the in vitro antioxidant potential of whole-grain cereals and cereal products well reflected in vivo?
TL;DR: The in vitro antioxidant capacity of cereals is only an approximate reflection of their in vivo antioxidant effect due to differences in antioxidant solubility/bioavailability within the digestive tract and the metabolism/conjugation of compounds such as polyphenols as mentioned in this paper.

Metabolite profiling of colored rice (Oryza sativa L.) grains
TL;DR: High-performance liquid chromatography analysis of dehulled red, black and non-colored indica and japonica rice subspecies revealed significant differences in the contents of the anthocyanins cyanidin-3-glucoside and peonid in-glUCoside.

TL;DR: The Acetone/Water was the most effective solvolytic solution for extracting free phenolics from pigmented rice, as well as anthocyanins from black and wild rice, and proanthocyanidins from red rice and the adoption of an enzymatic treatment, with α-amylase, increased the extractability of bound phenolics.

Cholesterol-lowering and Antioxidant Status-Improving Efficacy of Germinated Giant Embryonic Rice (Oryza Sativa L.) in High Cholesterol-Fed Rats
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of germinated giant embryonic rice consumption on the lipid metabolism and antioxidant system in the human body was investigated. But the authors did not investigate the effect of the consumption of giant rice on the human liver.

A rapid and sensitive method for the quantitation of microgram quantities of protein utilizing the principle of protein-dye binding
TL;DR: This assay is very reproducible and rapid with the dye binding process virtually complete in approximately 2 min with good color stability for 1 hr with little or no interference from cations such as sodium or potassium nor from carbohydrates such as sucrose.

Estimation of the Concentration of Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol in Plasma, Without Use of the Preparative Ultracentrifuge
TL;DR: A method for estimating the cholesterol content of the serum low-density lipoprotein fraction (Sf0-20) is presented and comparison of this suggested procedure with the more direct procedure, in which the ultracentrifuge is used, yielded correlation coefficients of .94 to .99.

Cholesterol-lowering effects of dietary fiber: a meta-analysis
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of 67 controlled trials was performed to quantify the cholesterol-lowering effect of major dietary fibers, finding that increasing soluble fiber can make only a small contribution to dietary therapy to lower cholesterol.

Components of the AIN-93 Diets as Improvements in the AIN-76A Diet
TL;DR: The AIN-93 rodent diets were formulated to substitute for the previous version (AIN-76A) and to improve the performance of animals that consume them and are better choices for studies with laboratory rodents.

TL;DR: The results suggest an inverse association between fiber intake and MI and suggest that fiber, independent of fat intake, is an important dietary component for the prevention of coronary disease.
