Recently, the research team found out that germinated brown rice extracts with high content GABA markedly stimulate immune response, and that the extracts can repress or block the proliferation of cancer cell. Hayakawa et al. showed that GABA-enriched milk has lowered blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive and normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats. Therefore, the amount of GABA incorporated into the yogurt, it seems, is high enough to have some functional value. The Lactobacillus strain and other GABA producing lactic acid bacteria seem to show a prospect to be applied in dairy and other health products that can exploit the functional properties of GABA.
