Effect of amylose content and pre-germinatedbrown riceon serum blood glucose and lipids in experimental animal

Abstract: To study the effect of amylose content and pre- germinated brown rice (PGBRL) on blood glucose and lipids , streptozotocin induced diabetic rats were fed on two cooked Egyptian rice varieties giza 175 high amylose 42.49 % for brown and 29.63% for white and giza 181 low amylose 18.18%for brown and 21.07% for white . pre-germinated brown rice (PGBRL) prepared from rice low amylose by immersing in water for 3 and 24 h before cooking and bread making from rice low amylose . the body white loss was observed in the rats fed on cooked brown rice high amylose , PGBRL 3 h and rice bread . serum blood glucose and lipids lowering effect was observed in fed cooked rice high amylose compared to diabetic control rats . these results suggest that the feeding with cooked rice high amylose instead of cooked rice low amylose may be effective to control serum blood glucose and lipids . cooked (PGBRL) ameliorated the elevation of serum blood glucose and lipids
