| Pre-germinated brown rice (PGBR) is known to contain abundant nutrients such as oryzanl, dietary fibers, vitamin E, B1, B3, B6, magnesium, antioxidant, and gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA). In the mammalian nervous system, GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that its activation modulates the release of several neurotransmitters including glutamate. Glutamate neurotransmission plays an important role in learning and memory and its alteration has been reported in drug addiction. However, little is known about the effect of PGBR on the brain functions even though many studies have focused on the process of GABA improvement in PGBR and claimed that PGBR can affect brain functions. Moreover, there are no studies about the effects of PGBR on the brain after... |
