Gamma-oryzanol is a mixture of avobenzoic acid esters, primarily composed of trienol, extracted from rice bran oil. Its main pharmacological action targets the autonomic nervous system and endocrine centers in the diencephalon, thereby regulating autonomic nervous function, reducing endocrine imbalances, alleviating neuropsychiatric disorders, and improving sleep quality. Additionally, gamma-oryzanol exhibits lipid-lowering effects, reduces hepatic lipid accumulation, prevents lipid peroxidation, and possesses antioxidant properties. It decreases myocardial excitability, improves myocardial blood supply, and exerts antiarrhythmic effects. Furthermore, it effectively lowers cholesterol levels, modulates pituitary hormone secretion, inhibits gastric acid secretion, and suppresses platelet aggregation.
