Effects of oat bran concentrate on serum lipids in free-living men with mild to moderate hypercholesterolemia

Article Abstract:

Free living men with mild to moderate hypercholesterolemia were offered a diet of oat bran concentrate to investigate its effects on serum lipids. Results of the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial showed that the large daily dose of beta-glucan made no significant effect on the serum lipid concentrations of the subjects. This was attributed to the poor solubility of the beta-glucan in the preparation which resulted to the low viscosity in the intestine.

Fish diet, fish oil and docosahexaenoic acid rich oil lower fasting and postprandial plasma lipid levels

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted on the effects of fish diet, fish oil and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) rich oil on fasting and postprandial lipid levels in healthy males. The study used a randomized single-blind design. The results indicate that both fasting and postprandial triglyceride concentrations can be lowered with moderate intakes of long-chain n-3 fatty acids either from a fish diet or fish oil. DHA also exhibits a hypotriglyceridemic effect.

Effects of oat bran concentrate on rat serum lipids and liver fat infiltration

Article Abstract:

An analysis of the hypocholesterolaemic effect of concentrated oat bran in adult rats revealed that oat bran concentrate does not cause any significant changes in HDL-cholesterol, but it reduces the liver weight. This confirms the superiority of the hypocholesterolaemic effect of oat bran concentrate over untreated oat bran at a similar level of beta-glucan. This effects were emphasized with the increasing amounts of oat bran concentrate.
