1. Water insoluble dietary fibre（WIDF） and water soluble dietary firre（WSDF） from wheat bran show ·OH scavenging activity. The antioxidants bound by dietary fibre may play a role in preventing colon cancer[1].
2. Fiavonoids of Wheat Germ can control blood lipids metabolism, and enhance antioxidation function, it is indicated that Fiavonoids of Wheat Germ is effective in prevention of hyperlipidemia[2]. 3. The flavonoids in wheat germ show chemoprophylactic effects on the mammary tumor in rats induced by 7,12 dimethylben(a) anthracene[3]. |

| [Clinical trial] | 1.Long-term use of excitant laxatives constipation：Xiaomai(Bligted Wheat) fibrin Granule for oral. Meal -while, Physiological saline for retention enema,qn.10 days as one course of treatment. Four course of treatment continually. Results showed that in 50 cases of Long-term use of excitant laxatives constipation, 26 cases were cured；53 cases improved；8 cases were invalid，The overall effective rate was 90.8% [1]。 2.Active distal ulcerative colitis (UC)： The treatment group (10 cases) was treated with fuXiaomai(Bligted Wheat) juice, the placebo group (11 cases) was treated with placebo. Two groups were treated 1 month. Result showed that when compared to the placebo group, some of the indexes in the fuXiaomai(Bligted Wheat) juice group were obviously improved,such as hemoproctia(P=0.025)、abdominal pain(P=0.019)、DAI(P=0.031)、the doctor gross score (P=0.031) and patient retrospective evaluation(P=0.0053),etc. In 19 cases of patients who accepted the sigmoid colon microscopic after treatment, the number of improved cases in the fuXiaomai(Bligted Wheat) juice group were more than in the placebo group, 7/9(78％), 3/10(30％) respectively. while two groups were no difference(P=0.13) [2]。 |
