Antioxidative and antidiabetic effects of germinated rough rice extract in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and C57BLKSJ-dbdb mice

Background: To overcome disadvantages of germinated brown rice, we germinated rough rice and tested ef- fects of its useful ingredients on prevention of diabetes. Objective: This study investigated the in vitro antioxidant and in vivo antidiabetic effects of rough rice (Oryza sativa L.) with hulls, before and after germination. Rough rice was germinated for 4 days and extracted with water at 120°C. Design: This study measured antioxidants and antioxidative effects and inhibitory activities...
