The Effects of Brown Rice Consumption Compared to White Rice on Postprandial Changes in Interleukin-6 and Malondialdehyde Levels in Sedentary Workers
NA · Indonesia University · NCT06780618
This study is testing whether eating brown rice instead of white rice can lower inflammation in people who sit at desks all day.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial investigates how consuming brown rice versus white rice affects levels of oxidative stress and inflammation, specifically measuring interleukin-6 (IL-6) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in sedentary employees. Participants will undergo interviews to gather personal and medical history, dietary patterns, and physical activity levels. They will consume a meal containing either brown or white rice, and blood samples will be collected before and after the meal to assess changes in inflammatory markers. The study aims to provide insights into dietary impacts on health for individuals with low physical activity.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are healthy administrative employees aged 21-59 with a normal body mass index and low physical activity levels.
Not a fit: Patients who are pregnant, have a history of certain diseases, or follow a vegan diet may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could help identify dietary choices that reduce inflammation and oxidative stress in sedentary individuals.
How similar studies have performed: While there is ongoing research into dietary impacts on inflammation, this specific comparison of brown rice and white rice in sedentary workers is relatively novel.
