Rice Bran Cholesterol Meta-AnalysisRice bran significantly reduced systolic blood pressure (WMD: -3.336 mmHg; p = 0.0006), diastolic blood pressure (WMD: -3.145 mmHg; p = 0.015), and HbA1c (WMD: -0.199%; p = 0.003).1Tantayakhom S (2025)Effects of Rice Bran Supplementation on Metabolic Syndrome-Related Parameters: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Rice Bran Cholesterol Meta-AnalysisLipid profiles improved, with reductions in total cholesterol (WMD: -13.594 mg/dL; p p p = 0.007).1Tantayakhom S (2025)Effects of Rice Bran Supplementation on Metabolic Syndrome-Related Parameters: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Rice Bran Cholesterol Meta-AnalysisRice bran, a fiber-rich source of bioactive compounds, has gained attention for its potential health benefits, yet its effects on metabolic syndrome (MetS) remain unclear.1Tantayakhom S (2025)Effects of Rice Bran Supplementation on Metabolic Syndrome-Related Parameters: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Rice Bran Cholesterol Meta-AnalysisThis study aimed to evaluate the impact of rice bran consumption on anthropometric measures, blood pressure, glycemic control, and lipid profiles in individuals with MetS.1Tantayakhom S (2025)Effects of Rice Bran Supplementation on Metabolic Syndrome-Related Parameters: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Rice Bran Cholesterol Meta-AnalysisAnd for the last several decades, researchers have continued to provide evidence for the benefits of higher fiber intake, especially for cereal fibers, on an array of health outcomes, with the greatest effects reported among low-fiber consumers and consumers of Western-style diets (–).3Comerford Kevin B. (2026)The impacts of ready-to-eat-cereals and cereal fibers on gut health, body weight, and cardiometabolic health
Rice Bran Cholesterol Meta-AnalysisInsoluble fibers, such as those primarily found in rice, corn, nuts, seeds, and vegetables tend to have more localized effects in the gastrointestinal tract such as by increasing fecal-bulking and fecal transit time, which can help promote bowel movement regularity and prevent constipation (,).3Comerford Kevin B. (2026)The impacts of ready-to-eat-cereals and cereal fibers on gut health, body weight, and cardiometabolic health
Rice Bran Cholesterol Meta-AnalysisThe first review focused on oats/oatmeal and wheat-based cereals and concluded that breakfast cereal consumption may be associated with improved bowel function, lower risk for obesity, lower cholesterol levels, and lower risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D), but these effects largely depended on the type of cereal consumed, with wheat- and oat-based cereals each showing unique effects on health outcomes ().3Comerford Kevin B.
