Brown rice vs white rice: effects on inflammation in sedentary workers
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares eating brown rice versus white rice to see how it affects levels of a molecule linked to inflammation (IL-6) and a marker of cell stress (MDA) in people who sit most of the day for work. If you are a healthy, sedentary office worker, you may help us understand if brown rice can improve your body's health after a meal.

This study tests whether eating black rice can help with memory, thinking, and overall health in older adults. The researchers want to see if black rice reduces inflammation and improves blood vessel function, which can benefit the brain and body.
This study tests whether a new type of rice with lower sugar impact and more protein can help people with prediabetes better manage their blood sugar levels.
This study tests a special high-protein, low-glycaemic index rice to see if it helps control blood sugar levels in people with prediabetes. Glycaemic index is a measure of how quickly a food raises blood sugar, so this rice may be better for managing blood sugar than regular rice.
This study looks at whether eating wild rice can improve cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) health. It is testing this in generally healthy adults who fit specific health and lifestyle criteria.
This trial tests how two types of fiber—from rice bran and wheat—affect the bacteria living in your gut. It's for healthy adults to help scientists understand how fiber can support digestion and overall health.
This study tests whether two natural supplements, quercetin and CoQ10, can reduce inflammation and improve metabolic health in adults who are not very active. If you are overweight and at risk for prediabetes, this trial might help you understand how these supplements affect your body.
