Beta-glucan-rich oat products reduce total cholesterol and LDL-C in mildly hypercholesteremic overweight adults.
PMID: Br J Nutr. 2012 Apr ;107(7):1037-47. Epub 2011 Aug 3. PMID: 21810288 Abstract Title: Effect of 6 weeks' consumption ofβ-glucan-rich oat products on cholesterol levels in mildly hypercholesterolaemic overweight adults. Abstract: Several regulatory bodies have approved a health claim on the cholesterol-lowering effects of oatβ-glucan at levels of 3·0 g/d. The present study aimed …
Bioactive oat β-glucan reduces LDL cholesterol in Caucasians and non-Caucasians.
PMID: Nutr J. 2011 Nov 25 ;10:130. Epub 2011 Nov 25. PMID: 22118569 Abstract Title: Bioactive oatβ-glucan reduces LDL cholesterol in Caucasians and non-Caucasians. Abstract: BACKGROUND: There is increasing global acceptance that viscous soluble fibers lower serum LDL cholesterol (LDL-C), but most evidence for this comes from studies in Caucasians. To see if oatβ-glucan lowers …

High molecular weight beta glucan delays gastric emptying, decreasing glycemic response.
PMID: Br J Nutr. 2013 Dec ;110(12):2173-9. Epub 2013 Jun 7. PMID: 23742725 Abstract Title: Molecular weight of barleyβ-glucan influences energy expenditure, gastric emptying and glycaemic response in human subjects. Abstract: Barleyβ-glucan (BG) has been shown to reduce glycaemic response (GR) in some studies. It is hypothesised that this reduction may be a function of …
