Arsenic Tracking in Iranian Rice: Analysis of Agricultural Soil and Water, Unpolished Rice and White Rice

Since rice is a staple food most consumed world-wide, there have been increasing health concerns regarding exposure to arsenic through rice consumption. Several studies have reported the accumulation of arsenic in rice grains cultivated in regions with elevated levels of arsenic in groundwater or contaminated soil. Therefore the principal aim of this study was determining the amount of arsenic ...

Red Strain Oryza Sativa-Unpolished Thai Rice Prevents Oxidative Stress and ACF in Rats

The bioequilibrium of antioxidant and prooxidant has a crucial role in cellular function with free radical defense (Valko et al., 2006). Oxidative stress is defined by the excess of free radicals and antioxidant depletion. It was implicated on biomolecules such as protein, lipid, and nucleic acid (Sies, 1997; Finkel & Holbrook, 2000). Cellular oxidative stress eventually caused tissue injury an...

Anti-Oxidant, Pro-Oxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Unpolished Rice Relevant to Colorectal Cancer

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major worldwide health problem owing to its high prevalence and mortality rates. Carcinogenesis in the colon is a multistage and multifactorial process. An imbalance between free radical exposure and anti-oxidant defense systems may leads to oxidative stress and attack of macromolecules which can alter signal transduction pathways and gene expression. Consequently, ...

Unpolished Thai rice Prevents ACF through Involvement of β-catenin and COX-2 Expression in Azoxymethane-Treated Rats

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common malignancy associated with significant morbidity and mortality worldwide (Jemal et al., 2011). The etiology of CRC is complicated and may be attributed to combined actions of inherited and environmental factors (Pandurangan and Esa, 2013). Both chronic intestinal inflammation and diet are the environmental factors that have been reported to be the major cause...
