Possible Interaction: Rice Bran Oil and Phytate

“Feeding the WB-PF that was … excess bran oil alone or with bran oil … phytate significantly suppressed the activities of iNOS and COX-2 as well as the expression of iNOS and …-2 in colon tumors compared with that in rats fed the WB diet or WB-PF diet.”

“Interestingly, WB-PF fortified with excess bran oil or with bran oil plus phytate significantly inhibited colon tumor incidence, multiplicity, and volume; but supplementation of WB-PF with phytate alone had no significant effect on colon tumorigenesis in rats suggesting that lipid fraction of WB possesses tumor-inhibitory properties.”
