Abstract
Rice is the world’s most important food cereal crop and a main food source for more than a third of the world’s population. Both brown rice and black rice contain vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber. However, black rice is superior when compared with brown rice because it contains more protein and fiber than brown rice. And also black rice has an extremely high antioxidant content, which provides a number of additional health benefits. This study aims to compare white, black and brown rice effects on hypercholesterolemic and diabetic rats. Fifty-two male adult albino rats, weighting 150 ±5 g are used, rats were divided into the following groups: G1: Control negative group (- ve), healthy rats. G2: Control positive group(+ve), hypercholesterolemic rats fed on basal diet. G3: Hypercholesterolemic rats fed on basal diet + 5% white rice powder. G4: Hypercholesterolemic rats fed on basal diet + 5% brown rice powder. G5: Hypercholesterolemic rats fed on basal diet + 5% Black rice powder. G6: Hypercholesterolemic rats fed on basal diet 5% mixture of white, brown and black rice powder. G7: Hypercholesterolemic rats fed on biscuits made from the black rice powder. G8: Control positive group(+ve), diabetic rats fed on basal diet. G9: Diabetic rats fed on basal diet +5% white rice powder. G10: Diabetic rats fed on basal diet +5% brown rice powder. G11: Diabetic rats fed on basal diet +5% black rice power. G12: Diabetic rats fed on basal diet +5% white, brown and black rice powder.
