Abstract
|
|
|
|
The purpose of this study was to investigate the bioavailability and nutritive functions of Nak-Dong rice orgenetically modified β-carotene-biofortified rice (GM rice) in an experimental animal model. Wistar rats fed either GM riceor Nak-Dong rice did not show differences in bioavailability, growth, organ weights, or visceral fat, suggesting that thenutrient content of GM rice is compositionally equivalent to that of conventional Nak-Dong rice. In addition, GM riceshowed improved nutritive function in terms of increased defecation, decreased lipids, and decreased blood glucose.
