No effect of 14 day consumption of whole grain diet compared to refined grain diet on antioxidant measures in healthy young subjects: a pilot study

摘要

BackgroundEpidemiological evidence supports that a diet high in whole grains is associated with lowered risk of chronic diseases included coronary heart disease, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and some types of cancer. One potential mechanism for the protective properties of whole grains is their antioxidant content. The aim of this study was to compare differences in antioxidant measures when subjects consumed either refined or whole grain diets.
