Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to evaluate the food safety of rice biofortified with β-glucan through various toxicity and genotoxicity tests.
  • In the experiments, results indicated that the biofortified rice exhibited no significant toxicity or abnormality in acute toxicity tests, with high median lethal doses.
  • All genotoxicity tests (including Ames and mutation assays) were negative, suggesting that β-glucan biofortified rice does not pose risks for acute toxicity or genetic mutations under the tested conditions.

Baoyuan decoction (BYD) is a classical Chinese formula for coronary heart disease with Qi deficiency, blood stasis tonifying Qi and Yang deficiency. However, the chemical material basis and underlying action mechanisms of BYD still lack systemic study. In order to clarify the active compounds and the potential action mechanisms of BYD, the oxygen-glucose deprivation/recovery (OGD/R)-induced H9c2 cells injury models was used to screen the monomeric compounds of BYD with myocardial protection activity.
