| Research Abstract |
We examined the effects of the rice protein prepared from well-milled rice on diabetes and diabetic nephropathy in male non-obese type 2 diabetic Goto-Kakizaki(GK) rats, by comparing the rice protein to casein as the different protein source. GK rat is a kind of model animals of Japanese type 2 diabetes mellitus. In the results, the rice protein had no effects on the levels of fasting blood glucose and plasma insulin, and systolic blood pressures. However, both urinary albumin excretion and renal glomerular damages in GK rats fed the rice protein were significantly suppressed.
