TL;DR: In vivo findings further demonstrate the potential value of black rice bran as an anti-inflammatory and antiallergic food ingredient and possibly also as a therapeutic agent for the treatment and prevention of diseases associated with chronic inflammation.
Abstract: We investigated the inhibitory effects of black rice (cv. LK1-3-6-12-1-1) bran against 12-O-tetradecanolylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced skin edema and 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB)-induced allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) in inflammatory mouse models. We also determined the effects of the bran extract on the following biomarkers: pro-inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), eicosanoids leukotriene B4 (LTB4), and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). Topical application of TPA to ears of CD-1 mice induced inflammation accompanied with substantial increase in TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, LTB4, and PGE2 levels and an elevation in intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) gene expressions in ear skin tissues. Intraperitoneal injection of black rice bran extract prior to TPA application in mice significantly suppressed TPA-induced inflammation (edema) and induced a marked decrease in the production of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and LTB4. Feeding mice a standard diet with added 10% black rice bran also significantly suppressed DNFB-induced allergic contact dermatitis on the skin of the mice. By contrast, a nonpigmented brown rice bran extract did not inhibit the TPA-induced edema and failed to significantly suppress production of pro-inflammatory biomarkers (mediators). These in vivo findings further demonstrate the potential value of black rice bran as an anti-inflammatory and antiallergic food ingredient and possibly also as a therapeutic agent for the treatment and prevention of diseases associated with chronic inflammation.

TL;DR: Evaluated the efficacy of an anthocyanin pigmented rice to mitigate the onset of hypercholesterolemia in rats-fed atherogenic diets and found the inclusion of the BRE in diets significantly improved the survival of rats fed on experimental diets.

TL;DR: In this paper, a dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) were fabricated using anthocyanin dye and polymer electrolyte with ammonium iodide (NH4I) salt.
Abstract: Dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) were fabricated using anthocyanin dye and polymer electrolyte with ammonium iodide (NH4I) salt. The study was designed to focus on increasing the efficiency of the DSSC. DSSC using 26.9 wt. % chitosan-22 wt. % NH4I(

TL;DR: Systematic identification and structural characterization of flavonoids and their glycosides in bran extracts of seven Thai black rice varieties were performed by sequential uses of reversed-phase HPLC with a photodiode array detector and a combined electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometer.
Abstract: Systematic identification and structural characterization of flavonoids and their glycosides in bran extracts of seven Thai black rice varieties were performed by sequential uses of reversed-phase HPLC with a photodiode array detector and a combined electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometer. Eleven flavonoids were detected, and six of these were found for the first time in rice bran. These were taxifolin-7-O-glucoside, myricetin-7-O-glucoside, isorhamnetin-3-O-acetylglucoside, isorhamnetin-7-O-rutinoside, 5,6,3′,4′,5′-pentahydroxyflavone-7-O-glucoside, and 5,3′,4′,5′-tetrahydroxyflavanone-7-O-glucoside. The quantitative results revealed that different rice varieties possessed flavonoids in different concentrations. The most abundant glycoside derivative of flavonoids widely distributed among the rice varieties was monoglucoside, such as quercetin-3-O-glucoside, isorhamnetin-3-O-glucoside, and isorhamnetin-3-O-glucoside.
