  • Title: [Food value of the oil from rice bran].
    Author: Kao Thi Thien.
    Journal: Vopr Pitan; 1980; (3):57-61. PubMed ID: 7405135.
    Abstract:
    Biological action of oil manufactured from rice bran, of peanut oil and a mixture of lard and sun flower oil was studied and compared in experiments on rats. The test fat components of the diet contained similar amounts of linolic acid. With normal protein content in the diet all groups of the animals demonstrated the same intensity of the growth. With low protein content in the diet the oil from rice bran produced a more potent protein-saving action. The metabolization coefficient of essential fatty acids in platelet lipids served as the criterion for assurance of the synthesis of structural lipids. It is inferred that the oil manufactured from rice bran is an appropriate source of energy and supplies well enough the requirements of the body for fatty acids.
