The Effect of Rice Bran Extract on Arterial Blood Pressure, Hepatic Steatosis, and Inflammation in Mice Fed with a High-Fat Diet.

Background: Inflammation and hypertension are primary mechanisms involving in obesity-associated adverse effects of a high-fat diet. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of rice bran extract (RBE) on arterial blood pressure, hepatic steatosis, inflammation, and oxidative stress in high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obese mice.

Methods: Male ICR mice were divided into four groups, including a normal-diet control group, a high-fat diet (HFD) (60% kcal from fat) group, an HFD group treated with RBE (220 mg/kg/day), and an HFD group treated with 1100 mg/kg/day for eight weeks.

Phenolic and flavonoid contents of Thai rice extracts and their correlation with antioxidant activities using chemical and cell assays.

Background: Free radicals induce oxidative stress in various cell components, leading to certain diseases. Plant-derived antioxidants have become a profitable alternative to prevent oxidative stress in cells due to adverse effects of some synthetic antioxidants.

Objective: To determine the total phenolic and flavonoid contents and to evaluate the correlation between these two compounds and their antioxidant properties in the ethanolic extracts of brown rice and rice bran from Thai rice cultivars: Sangyod red rice and Dawk Mali 105 white rice using the chemical and cell assays.

Anti-Inflammatory, Analgesic, and Antipyretic Activities of the Ethanol Extract of Piper interruptum Opiz. and Piper chaba Linn.

Piper interruptum Opiz. and Piper chaba Linn. are herbaceous plants in the Piperaceae family.

Lipid lowering efficacy between morning and evening simvastatin treatment: a randomized double-blind study.

Objectives: To compare lipid-lowering efficacy and high sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP) level between morning and evening simvastatin administration in hyperlipidemia subjects.

Material And Method: A randomized double blind controlled trial was conducted in 52 dyslipidemia subjects. A group of twenty five subjects received 10 mg simvastatin in the morning and placebo in the evening.

Determination of phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and antioxidant activities in water extracts of Thai red and white rice cultivars.

Background: Free radical-induced oxidative stress damages cellular components leading to many human diseases. Plant-derived antioxidant compounds have become a profitable alternative to prevent oxidative stress in cells.

Objective: To determine and compare total phenolic and flavonoid contents as well as antioxidant activity using both chemical and cell assays in the water extracts of brown rice and rice bran from two Thai rice cultivars: Sangyod, a red pigmented rice typically grown in Southern Thailand and Dawk Mali 105, a commercial white-colored rice.

Toxicity evaluation of sappan wood extract in rats.

Background: The heartwood of Caesalpinia sappan L. or sappan wood has long been used in folk medicines to treat tuberculosis, diarrhea, dysentery, skin infections and anemia.

Objective: To study the acute and subacute toxicities of sappan wood extract in rats.
