This study investigated the potential effect of on inflammatory cytokines in overweight/obese people. A randomized, double blinded, placebo-controlled, clinical trial design enrolled 44 participants body mass index ≥23 kg/m2, randomized to two groups receiving β–glucan 477 mg/capsule (n = 22) or placebo orally for six weeks. At weeks one two, received 1 capsule/day at four tablets/day....

The effects of simvastatin, an inhibitor 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase (HMG-CoA reductase), on oxidative stress resistance and the protective coenzyme Q (CoQ) were investigated. When simvastatin was administered orally to mice, levels oxidized reduced CoQ(9) CoQ(10) in serum, liver, heart, decreased significantly when compared those control. thiobarbituric acid reactive substances induced by Fe(2+)-ascorbate liver heart mitochondria also increased with simvastatin. Furthermore,...

Rice bran oil (RBO) especially from colored rice is rich in phytochemicals and has become popular food, cosmetic, nutraceutical pharmaceutical applications owing to its offering health benefits. This study determined the contents of including oryzanols, phytosterols, tocopherols (Toc) tocotrienols (T3) RBOs extracted using different methods namely cold-press extraction (CPE), solvent (SE) supercritical CO2 (SC-CO2). Two rice, Red Jasmine (RJM, red rice) Hom-nin (HN, black rice), were studied...

The effect of boiling on ten edible mushroom varieties was analyzed for antioxidant activities by three different assays (ORAC, FRAP and DPPH) polyphenol content. results indicated that the process significantly decreased both content in all varieties. Antioxidant boiled mushrooms can be ranked from high to low as A. hygrometricus > Cylindracea V. volvacea L. edodes P. eryngii. Percent true retention ORAC, FRAP, DPPH cooked tissue ranged 21-75%, 17- 68%, 23-66% 21-70%, respectively with...

The present study was undertaken to analyze the impact of germination (NBG) and hydrothermal cooking (NBHTC) on nutritional profile physicochemical, functional microstructural properties Nitta bean (Parkia timoriana) (NBR) seeds. Results demonstrated that highest crude protein fat content could be found in NBG NBHTC, whereas ash significantly higher NBG. Compared NBHTC NBR, has emulsion capacity stability, with values determined 58.33 ± 1.67 63.89 2.67, respectively. In addition, color...

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a lipid-soluble antioxidant and essential component of the mitochondrial electron transfer system in body, wide use as functional food material cosmetic raw material.
