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.
麦麸（WB）是一种丰富的纤维来源，对便秘、肠易激综合征和胃肠道疾病有促进健康的作用。然而，超细麦麸在改善肥胖、高血糖和高血脂方面的作用尚待揭示。在高脂大鼠模型中，对超细麦麸（低剂量和高剂量处理）进行了为期5周的体重、血糖、血清和肝脏脂质研究。高脂饮食显著增加了体重、血糖水平、血清和肝脏中的脂质以及丙二醛。相比之下，超细麦麸处理降低了食物和能量摄入量、餐后血糖、体重、血液和肝脏胆固醇、甘油三酯、丙二醛、低密度脂蛋白，并提高了高密度脂蛋白水平。此外，当比较两种不同浓度时，高浓度的超细麦麸表现出最大的影响。这些结果表明，超细麦麸能显著改善高血糖、高血脂，还可能预防其他急性、复发性或慢性疾病。
