The Hypocholesterolemic Effect of Germinated Brown Rice Involves the Upregulation of the Apolipoprotein A1 and Low-Density Lipoprotein Receptor Genes

Table 2

Concentration of acylated steryl glycoside (ASG), gamma amino butyric acid (GABA), oryzanol, and phenolics in germinated brown rice (GBR) in comparison to white rice (WR) and brown rice (BR).

Bioactive compound*	Rice type
	GBR	BR	WR
ASG (mg/g)	0.465 ± 0.055	Undetected	Undetected
GABA (mg/g)	0.36 ± 0.04	0.09 ± 0.02	Undetected
Phenolics (GAE/g dw)	20.5 ± 0.01	3.17 ± 1.68	0.60 ± 0.45
Oryzanol (mg/100 g)	30.38–64.22	13.01–22.37	Undetected

GAE: gallic acid equivalent; dw: dry weight. *Concentration of all bioactive compounds in GBR was found to be significantly higher (P < 0.05) than WR or BR.
