Oat Phenolics Bioavailability
A study testing Oat bran and refined grain in people with Healthy, run by University of Reading at 1 site in United Kingdom.
Trial summary
A diet rich in whole grain is inversely associated with cardiovascular disease risk and this benefit could be partly attributed to the phenolic acid content of whole grains. The exact absorption, metabolism and excretion of whole grain phenolic acids, however, is not fully understood. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Absorption, Metabolism and Excretion of Oat Phenolic Acids in Healthy Men.
A diet rich in whole grain is inversely associated with cardiovascular disease risk and this benefit could be partly attributed to the phenolic acid content of whole grains. The exact absorption, metabolism and excretion of whole grain phenolic acids, however, is not fully understood. In a small human intervention trial, the investigators will investigate to what extent phenolic acids from whole grain oats are absorbed, excreted in urine and how they are metabolised.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Oat bran and refined grain in people with Healthy, run by University of Reading at 1 site in United Kingdom.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Oct 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Change from baseline in phenolic acid metabolite excretion (time frame: Baseline and 48 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Oct 2015; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 28 Oct 2026.
