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.

Phenolic Compounds and Bioactivities of Pigmented Rice
TL;DR: This review provides up-to-date coverage of pigmented rice in regard to bioactive constituents, extraction and analytical methods, and bioactivities including antioxidant and free radical scavenging, antitumor, antiatherosclerosis, hypoglycemic, and antiallergic activities.

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.

Whole-grain intake may reduce the risk of ischemic heart disease death in postmenopausal women: the Iowa Women's Health Study.
TL;DR: A clear inverse association between whole-grain intake and risk of IHD death existed and a causal association is plausible because whole- grain foods contain many phytochemicals, including fiber and antioxidants, that may reduce chronic disease risk.

Antioxidant activity and nutrient composition of selected cereals for food use
TL;DR: In this paper, four cereals including barley, pearl millet, rye and sorghum which are adapted to the growing conditions in the United Arab Emirates were evaluated in terms of their composition of dietary fiber, resistant starch, minerals and total phenols and antioxidant properties.

Dietary fiber and disease.
TL;DR: Mechanisms are postulated whereby changes in gastrointestinal behavior could in part explain the occurrence of such common disorders as ischemic heart disease, appendicitis, diverticular disease, gallbladder disease, varicose veins, deep vein thrombosis, hiatus hernia, and tumors of the large bowel.

Influence of dietary spices and their active principles on pancreatic digestive enzymes in albino rats
TL;DR: Positive influences on the pancreatic digestive enzymes exerted by a good number of spices consumed in diet could be a factor contributing to the well recognised digestive stimulant action of spices.

TL;DR: The findings that LCAT overexpression in rabbits was atheroprotective in contrast to increase in atherosclerosis in h LCAT tg mice, call for some caution in the extrapolation of results from transgenic animals to humans.
