The purpose of this work was to measure the changes in γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and polyphenolic content of two different rice varieties (Geunnun and Ilpum), as well as the antiproliferative activities of both germinated brown rice varieties in cancer cells. The contents of GABA in Geunnun and Ilpum, especially in the bran of Ilpum increased significantly after germination. The content of polyphenol in Geunnun also increased after germination, but the contents of flavonoid in both varieties decreased after germination. A significant increase in the antiproliferative activity of both varieties on human lung and gastric cancer cell line was observed after germination.
