A study testing Oat Bran Consumption in people with Human Health and Polyphenols, run by North Carolina Agriculture & Technical State University.
Trial summary
Avenanthramides and saponins are types of chemical compounds found naturally in oats. Avenanthramides have anti-oxidant properties, anti-atherosclerotic, anti-inflammation, and anti-proliferative effects on cancer cells in vitro. Read more about this study

About this study
Avenanthramides and saponins are types of chemical compounds found naturally in oats.
Avenanthramides have anti-oxidant properties, anti-atherosclerotic, anti-inflammation, and anti-proliferative effects on cancer cells in vitro. Oat saponins, or avenacosides, have the ability to bind cholesterol, and thus, the ability to lower blood cholesterol.

Oat bran is a known source of these dietary compounds. This study aims to determine the bioavailability of these compounds to in the urine of participants after ingesting an oat bran cereal, both before, and after for multiple time points.
Analytical chemistry will be used to determine the bioavailability of the oat compounds at each time point. This will help to establish a kinetic curve for the metabolism of these compounds.
Read the detailed description
Initially, the diet of the participants will be asked to restricted to avoid eating any polyphenols that might interfere with the employed analytical chemistry techniques. This period of diet restriction is the washout period. The list of foods to avoid are: oats, whole grains, fruits, vegetables, herbal supplements, ginger, coffee, tea, and chocolate.
After the washout period, a baseline urine and fecal sample will be collected from the participants, then a large portion of oat bran will be provided to the participants for consumption. The approximate portion size will be 100 g by dry weight. The participants will then provide urine samples during the designated time points. The time points for the urine collection are as follows:
- st sample, ~ 30 min to 1 hour prior to oat consumption
- nd sample: 0-2 hours after oat consumption
- rd sample: 2-4 hours after oat consumption
- th sample: 4-6 hours after oat consumption
- th sample: 6-9 hours after oat consumption
- th sample: 9-12 hours after oat consumption
- th sample: 12-24 hours after oat consumption
- th sample: 24-32 hours after oat consumption
- th sample: 48 hours after oat consumption These samples will be analyzed in using HPLC and LC/MS.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Oat Bran Consumption in people with Human Health and Polyphenols, run by North Carolina Agriculture & Technical State University.
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 8 inclusion and 8 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 6 Aug 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. 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?
Bioavailability of Avenanthramides and Saponins in Urine (time frame: 0-2 hours post-dose). The study lists 8 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04335435, which also lists 1 linked publication.
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 6 Aug 2020.
