Wheat bran (WB) is an abundant source of fiber, promoting the health for constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, and gastrointestinal disorders. However, the role of superfine-WB in improving the obesity, hyperglycemia, and hyperlipidemia needs to be revealed. The superfine-WB (low and high treatments) was studied on body-weight, blood sugar, serum, and liver lipids in a high-fat rat model for 5-weeks. The high-fat diet substantially increased body-weight, sugar levels, lipids, and malondialdehyde in serum and liver. In contrast, the superfine-WB treatments reduced food and energy intake, postprandial glucose, body-weight, blood and liver cholesterol, triglycerides, malondialdehyde, low-density lipoprotein, and increased the level of high-density lipoprotein. Additionally, when the two different concentrations were compared, the maximum impact was exhibited by the superfine-WB containing high concentration. These results suggest that the superfine-WB significantly improves the hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, and possibly also protecting against other acute, recurrent, or chronic diseases.

超细麦麸可改善高脂大鼠模型的高血糖和高血脂特性。

麦麸（WB）是纤维的丰富来源，可促进便秘，肠易激综合症和胃肠道疾病的健康。然而，超细WB在改善肥胖，高血糖和高血脂中的作用需要被揭示。在高脂大鼠模型中研究了超细WB（低剂量和高剂量）的体重，血糖，血清和肝脂质，历时5周。高脂饮食会显着增加血清和肝脏的体重，糖水平，脂质和丙二醛。相比之下，超细WB处理可减少食物和能量的摄入，餐后葡萄糖，体重，血液和肝胆固醇，甘油三酸酯，丙二醛，低密度脂蛋白，并增加高密度脂蛋白的水平。此外，当比较两种不同的浓度时，高浓度的超细WB显示出最大的影响。这些结果表明，超细WB显着改善了高血糖症，高血脂症，并且还可以预防其他急性，复发或慢性疾病。
