Published in Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine
Methodology
Randomized double-blind controlled trial comparing rice bran oils with differing gamma-oryzanol content in hyperlipidemic adults.
Key Findings
High gamma-oryzanol rice bran oil reduced total and LDL cholesterol and malondialdehyde, and increased antioxidant capacity versus the low-oryzanol comparator.
Conclusions
Gamma-oryzanol-rich rice bran oil modestly improves lipids and oxidative stress markers.
Limitations
Small sample, short duration, food-oil matrix rather than isolated gamma-oryzanol.
Supplements Studied
Rice bran oil high in gamma-oryzanol reduced total and LDL cholesterol and improved antioxidant status in hyperlipidemic subjects.
Outcomes Measured
Rice bran oil high in gamma-oryzanol reduced total and LDL cholesterol in hyperlipidemic subjects.
