Have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects

Many of the ingredients in rice bran oil have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Oryzanol is one of these substances; research demonstrates that it inhibits a number of inflammatory-promoting enzymes. It could specifically target cardiac membrane and blood vessel inflammation. Inflammation can cause atherosclerosis, which is the hardening and constriction of the arteries and can result in heart disease if it is left untreated.

Additionally, research on mouse cells in a test tube shows that the active substance tocotrienols inhibit inflammation. In 4-week research, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of rice bran oil or soybean oil were given to 59 participants with hyperlipidemia. People's antioxidant capacity was greatly boosted by rice bran oil in comparison to soybean oil, which may help fight oxidative stress.
