Instant rice made from white and pigmented giant embryonic rice reduces lipid levels and body weight in high fat diet-fed mice.

Problem: With the growing health problem on obesity and its associated metabolic disorders, functional foods with hypolipidemic and body fat-lowering effects are greatly needed.

The mice were given experimental diets for eight weeks: Normal control, high fat, and high fat supplemented with soybean fermented paste, brown rice fermented paste, brown rice-rice bran fermented paste, or brown rice-red ginseng marc fermented paste. The high fat group showed markedly higher blood glucose level and erythrocyte lipid peroxidation than the normal control group.

Effect of instant cooked giant embryonic rice on body fat weight and plasma lipid profile in high fat-fed mice.

The comparative effects of instant cooked rice made from giant embryo mutant or ordinary normal rice on body weight and lipid profile in high fat-fed mice were investigated. The animals were given experimental diets for seven weeks: normal control (NC), high fat (HF), and HF supplemented with instant normal white (HF-NW), normal brown (HF-NB), giant embryonic white (HF-GW), or giant embryonic brown (HF-GB) rice. The HF group showed markedly higher body weight, body fat, plasma and hepatic triglyceride and cholesterol concentrations, and atherogenic index relative to NC group.

Comparative effects of doenjang prepared from soybean and brown rice on the body weight and lipid metabolism in high fat-fed mice.

The comparative effects of doenjang prepared from fermented soybean or brown rice on the body weight and lipid metabolism in C57BL/6N mice fed with high fat diet were investigated. The animals were randomly divided and given experimental diets for eight weeks: normal control diet, high fat diet, and high fat diet supplemented with soybean doenjang, brown rice doenjang, brown rice-rice bran doenjang, or brown rice-red ginseng marc doenjang. At the end of the experimental period, the HF group exhibited a marked increase in body weight, body fat, plasma triglyceride concentration, and atherogenic index relative to the normal control diet group.

Antihyperglycemic and antioxidative effects of Hydroxyethyl Methylcellulose (HEMC) and Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) in mice fed with a high fat diet.

The effect of dietary feeding of hydroxyethyl methylcellulose (HEMC) and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) on the glucose metabolism and antioxidative status in mice under high fat diet conditions was investigated. The mice were randomly divided and given experimental diets for six weeks: normal control (NC group), high fat (HF group), and high fat supplemented with either HEMC (HF+HEMC group) or HPMC (HF+HPMC group). At the end of the experimental period, the HF group exhibited markedly higher blood glucose and insulin levels as well as a higher erythrocyte lipid peroxidation rate relative to the control group.

Hypoglycemic and antioxidative effects of hydroxyethyl methylcellulose in mice fed with high fat diet.

The effect of hydroxyethyl methylcellulose (HEMC) with different viscosities on the glucose metabolism and antioxidative defense system in high fat-fed mice was investigated. The mice were randomly divided into five dietary groups: normal control diet (NC), high fat diet (HF), and high fat diet supplemented with high viscosity (HF-HV), moderate viscosity (HF-MV), and low viscosity (HF-LV) HEMC fibers. After 6 weeks, the HF group showed a marked increase in body weight gain, body fat, blood glucose concentration, insulin level, and erythrocyte lipid peroxidation rate relative to the NC group.

Comparative evaluation of the hypolipidemic effects of hydroxyethyl methylcellulose (HEMC) and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) in high fat-fed mice.

The effect of hydroxyethyl methylcellulose (HEMC), in comparison with hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), on the body weight and lipid metabolism in mice fed with high fat diet was investigated. The animals were given normal control diet (NC group), high fat diet (HF group), or high fat diet supplemented with either HEMC (HF+HEMC group) or HPMC (HF+HPMC group) for 6weeks. At the end of the experimental period, both HF+HEMC and HF+HPMC groups showed reduced body weight, body fat, plasma triglyceride and total cholesterol contents, atherogenic index and free fatty acid level, and increased HDL-cholesterol concentration relative to the HF group.

Effect of oryzanol and ferulic acid on the glucose metabolism of mice fed with a high-fat diet.

The effects of oryzanol and ferulic acid on the glucose metabolism of high-fat-fed mice were investigated. Male C57BL/6N mice were randomly divided into 4 groups: NC group fed with normal control diet; HF group fed with high-fat (17%) diet; HF-O group fed with high-fat diet supplemented with 0.5% oryzanol; and HF-FA group fed with high-fat diet supplemented with 0.
