ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking to understand how eating brown rice compares to white rice in affecting inflammation and oxidative stress in office workers who do not exercise much. Specifically, the researchers want to see if these two types of rice influence levels of certain substances in the blood that are related to inflammation and stress in the body after a meal.

To participate, you need to be a healthy office worker between the ages of 21 and 59, with a normal body weight and low physical activity. If you join, you will be interviewed about your health and lifestyle, measured for your body mass index (BMI), and asked to keep track of what you eat for a day. You will then eat a meal that includes either brown or white rice, and your blood will be taken before and after the meal to see how it affects your body. This study is important because it can help us understand how different types of rice may impact health, especially for people with sedentary lifestyles.
