The aim of the present study was to assess the possible protective effect of γ-oryzanol (ORY) supplementation in a model of acute liver failure (ALF) induced by acetaminophen (APAP) in mice. Male Swiss strain mice were supplemented with ORY (10 and 50 mg/kg, per oral route) daily for 7 days. One hour after the last supplementation, animals received APAP (300 mg/kg, intraperitoneal). Twenty-four hours after APAP administration, mice were euthanized, and biochemical and histopathological determinations were performed. Histopathological analysis revealed that APAP caused vascular congestion, loss of cellular structure, and cellular infiltration in hepatocytes. Moreover, it caused oxidative damage (enzymatic and non-enzymatic analysis of oxidative stress), with loss of hepatic function leading to cell apoptosis (apoptotic parameters). ORY supplementation (ORY-10 and ORY-50) protected against all changes in ALF model. Thus, the protective effect of ORY supplementation was due to modulation of antioxidant defenses avoiding the apoptotic process.

A feeding study lasting 30 days was carried out to determine the effects of dietary Oryzanol (Ory) on the survival, growth, antioxidant capacity, peptic enzymes, as well as lipid metabolism of larvae (11.87 ± 0.59 mg) using four different Ory concentrations in microfeed formulations (0, 20, 40, and 80 mg/kg), all preserving isolipidic (18.

This study evaluated the effect of supplementing IVM media with γ-oryzanol (ORY), a nutraceutical derived from rice bran oil, on the development of bovine oocytes and hindering the compromising effect of redox imbalance. An in vitro model of the bovine cumulus-oocyte complex was used for the evaluation of nuclear maturation and development. Antioxidant activity was investigated by assessing the level of ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species) and GSH (glutathione) in oocytes and quantitative changes in gene expression in matured oocytes and their respective cumulus cells.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a global chronic disease with a long duration and repeated relapse. Currently, there is still a lack of effective approaches to prevent IBD. Food-derived oryzanol (ORY) possesses extensive biological activities, such as ameliorating bowel diseases, antioxidation, and antiobesity.

Association to early mortality and sedentarism was already demonstrated in the literature; nevertheless, some possible biochemical mechanisms around physical inactivity still need answers. The use of an invertebrate model, such as , can reproduce reliable responses in inducing an exercise protocol with exogenous antioxidant supplementation. This study main evaluates the effect of exercise (EXE) associated with γ-oryzanol (ORY) supplementation to improve locomotor behavior, antioxidant defenses, and survival in .
