Abstract

Objective: A controlled clinical trial was conducted on 86 metabolic syndrome patients to evaluate the effect of germinated rice on the fasting blood glucose, HbA1c levels, Insulin and HOMA – Insulin index. Method: All subjects were divided into 2 groups, including the intervention group (using germinated rice 100 g/meal x 2 meal/day, during 12 weeks) and the control group. The levels of fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, Insulin were measured at baseline and after 12 weeks of the intervention. Results: R Results showed that after 3 months of the intervention, the blood glucose level and HbA1c level decreased significantly in the intervention group (p<0.05). The change in the blood glucose level was higher in the intervention group as compared with that of the control group (0.7 mmol/L versus 0.1 mmol/L; p <0.05). The HOMA- IR index of the intervention group were lower compared to that at baseline and compared to the control group (p <0.05). In addition, the prevalence of subjects with the blood glucose> 5.6 mmol/L and the prevalence of subjects with HbA1c>5.6% had a reducing trend in the intervention group (p> 0.05). Conclusion: The germinated rice is considered as the potential product to support in the prevention and treatment of metabolic syndrome in the elderly
