- Rice is a vital food source for over 50% of the global population, but its high glycemic index poses challenges for diabetic and obese individuals, necessitating the development of low-GI rice varieties through understanding starch biogenesis.
- A study of 200 rice genotypes focused on starch content and categorized them into three groups based on amylose content, leading to the selection of specific genotypes for further analysis of resistant starch levels, protein content, and fatty acid profiles.
- Results showed varying levels of resistant starch and fatty acids, with specific genotypes demonstrating significant enzymatic activity related to starch biosynthesis, highlighting genetic variations that can influence rice quality traits.

Benefits of RMS include abundant availability, low cost, and eco-friendliness, but its use as bedding material for cows is hindered by a moisture content that promotes microbial growth. This in vitro study evaluated impacts of calcium hydroxide (CH; 5 and 7.

Activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is reported to regulate inflammation in conditions such as Alzheimer and traumatic brain injury. Metformin, an antidiabetic agent acting via AMPK activation, possesses anti-inflammatory properties.
