Popis: The effect of rice bran ethanolic extract from Superjami, a new blackish-purple pigmented cultivar, on the lipid and glucose metabolisms in a postmenopausal-like model of ovariectomized rats was investigated. Sprague-Dawley female rats were subjected to either bilateral ovariectomy or a sham operation and randomly divided into three dietary groups (n = 6): sham-operated fed with normal diet (SHAM), ovariectomized fed with normal diet (OVX-AIN76), and ovariectomized fed with normal diet supplemented with Superjami bran extract (OVX-SJ). The OVX-AIN76 group showed significantly higher body weight, triglyceride, total cholesterol, blood glucose, and insulin than the SHAM group. On the other hand, supplementation of Superjami bran extract markedly reduced the body weight gain and improved the lipid and glucose profiles in ovariectomized rats through inhibition of hepatic lipogenesis and adipokine production and modulation of glucose-regulating enzyme activities. These findings demonstrate that extracts from S...
