Abstract

a peer-reviewed, open access online international journal which publishes original research papers. The journal welcomes submission from scholars and experts for possible publication from all over the world. The scope of the journal includes: Pharmaceutical research, chemistry and biochemistry of naturally occurring compounds, biological evaluation of crude extracts, ethnomedicine, traditional and complementary medicine, ethnopharmacology, biomedical research, Biotechnology, Evaluation of natural substances of land and sea and of plants, microbes and animals, pharmacognosy, bioavailability, clinical, pharmacological, toxicological studies and pharmacokinetics of phytochemicals, Isolation and characterization of compounds, structure elucidation, synthesis and experimental biosynthesis of natural Product as well as developments of methods in these areas are welcomed in the journal.

Highlights

Rice is mostly consumed by population of Asian countries.[1]
By feeding mice with diets differed in % fat and % energy acquired from fat, including normal diet (4% fat, 10% energy; CONTROL group), high fat diet (35% fat, 60% energy; HFD group), or high fat diet supplemented with 1% germinated Sang-Yod rice/kg/day (HFDGR group), for 12 weeks, it was found that their body weight increased by time
An association between high fat intakes and gaining body weight was strengthened, while supplement of 1% germinated Sang-Yod rice/kg/day to high fat diet was beneficial for weight management (Figure 2)

Summary

Introduction

Rice is mostly consumed by population of Asian countries.[1]. Brown rice is obtained by removing the outermost husk of rice seed. Studies have demonstrated that impaired GABA signaling can affect sleep quality and abilities to relieve stress or to do planned actions. These worse symptoms have been improved by consuming GABAsupplemented foods.[5,6,7] Another study has indicated a preventive potential of GABA rice on Alzheimer’s disease.[8] With modern-day lifestyles, obesity is prevailing. Increased cell mass of adipocytes due to obesity brings about chronic/low-grad inflammation This triggers macrophages, monocytes, lymphocytes, and mast cells to release inflammatory cytokines into blood circulation and leads to insulin resistance/glucose intolerance of cells of adipose tissues.[9,10] In turn, increased free fatty acid load occurs in all organs including in blood circulation ( called hyperlipidemia).
