High fat diet may cause obesity, diabetes, atherosclerosis, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and other diseases, even mortality. The recombinant rice based on mixing lotus seed starch broken flour was used to feed high-fat rats, its effects body weight organ index were determined. changes of intestinal flora in rats studied by macrogenomic technology, the starch-broken (LSBR) discussed. results sho...

in order to study the gene actions and heritability of the physical and chemical characteristics associated with appearance and cooking quality of rice grain, generation mean analysis was performed using a cross between two iranian rice cultivars, deylamani and sepidroud, having different quality characters. seeds of the parental lines and f1, f2, bc1 and bc2 generations were grown in randomize...

BACKGROUND Brewers' rice, is locally known as temukut, is a mixture of broken rice, rice bran, and rice germ. The current study is an extension of our previous work, which demonstrated that water extract of brewers' rice (WBR) induced apoptosis in human colorectal cancer (HT-29) cells. We also identified that brewers' rice was effective in reducing the tumor incidence and multiplicity in azoxym...

Thanks to its contribution human nutrition, rice is a vital issue, mainly based on quality. While O. glaberrima abandoned in favor of Asian rice, this study was carried out identification process best grain quality African order make them more competitive and valorous systems varietal improvement. Principal components analysis method has been used for characterization 215 accessions, their tech...

The increased frequency of sudden cardiac death after earthquakes and bombings has long proposed that emotional distress plays a role in acute coronary syndromes and arrhythmias. Since the 1960s, several controlled, prospective, epidemiological studies have reported emotional distress as a major risk factor for the onset and worsening of coronary heart disease (CHD) [1]. The Interheart study, a...
