The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of a hydrolyzed polysaccharide, Rice Bran Arabinoxylan Compound (RBAC), on biomarkers in adults with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). A 90-day randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial examined the effect of RBAC on complete blood count, liver enzymes, lipids, oxidative stress markers, cytokines, and growth factors. Twenty-three adults with NAFLD were enrolled and randomly assigned to one of the two study conditions (n=12 RBAC and n=11 placebo) and consumed 1 gram/day of either compound for 90 days. Subjects were assessed at baseline and 45 and 90 days. No adverse effects were reported. Alkaline phosphatase significantly decreased (−3.1%; SD=19.9; F[1,19]=5.1, p=0.03) in the RBAC group compared to the placebo group. The percentages of monocytes (17.9%; SD=18.3; F[1,19]=5.9, p=0.02) and eosinophils (30.6%; SD=30.5; F[1,19]=12.3, p<0.01) increased in the RBAC group. IFN-γ (156%; SD=131.8; F[1,19]=4.2, p=0.06) and IL-18 (29.1%; SD=64; F[1,19]=5.3, p=0.03) increased in the RBAC group compared to the placebo group. Other improvements were noted for platelets, neutrophils, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, γ-glutamyl transferase, and 4-hydroxynonenal. RBAC had beneficial effects on several biomarkers that adds to the known immunomodulatory activities of RBAC, which may be promising for people with NAFLD.
