Medical Wellness in the Lehigh Valley: Oats reduce inflammation

Dr. Monica Gavin - Sunday, March 21, 2010
Previously Mohsen Meydani, from Tufts University (Massachusetts, USA), and colleagues have shown that phenolic antioxidants in oats obstruct the ability of blood cells to stick to artery walls. In new research, the team has found that another oat compound, avenanthramides, decrease the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines. The study provides additional indications of the potential health benefit of oat consumption in the prevention of coronary heart disease beyond its known effect through lowering blood cholesterol.
