A Black Sticky Rice-Derived Functional Ingredient Improves Anxiety, Depression, and Stress Perception in Adult Volunteers

We hypothesized that consumption of a diet containing the functional ingredient from black sticky rice, which is rich in anthocyanin, over a five-day period would improve anxiety, depression, and stress perception in adult volunteers based on the benefits of this compound. In this study, a total of...

description We hypothesized that consumption of a diet containing the functional ingredient from black sticky rice, which is rich in anthocyanin, over a five-day period would improve anxiety, depression, and stress perception in adult volunteers based on the benefits of this compound. In this study, a total of 46 male and female adult volunteers with mild and moderate stress level were assigned to groups consuming a breakfast meal containing an anthocyanin-enriched functional ingredient at doses of 2 and 4 g per day for 5 days. The volunteers consumed three meals with a low DII but high DAQ-S, and the total calories consumed during the study period was 2000 kcal/day. Mental well-being, including depression, anxiety, and stress, together with AChE, MAO, Nrf2, 8OHdG, MDA, and the density of <i>Lactobacillus</i> and <i>Bifidobacterium</i> spp., were assessed at baseline and at the end of the study. Safety parameters were also examined. A diet containing both doses of the anthocyanin-enriched functional ingredient with a low DII but high DAQ-S was found to improve anxiety, depression, and stress, with changes in 8-OHdG and IL-6 levels. No other changes and toxicity-related parameters were observed. Our results show that the novel functional ingredient can improve anxiety, depression, and stress perception partly by decreasing oxidative stress and inflammation; however, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies with a larger sample size should be performed to confirm this benefit.
