Conclusion: These beneficial effects might be attributed to the effects of avenanthramide and β-glucan. Conclusions: Overall evidence supporting the alleviation of inflammatory response by oat intake was poor, calling for future studies including a larger sample size to confirm the findings.
PubMed 34513905 ↗Conclusion: Overall, this review showed that both oat and isolated β-glucan interventions improved lipid profiles. Furthermore, the ingestion of oats or isolated β-glucan supplements are effective tools to combat dyslipidemia and should be considered in cardiovascular disease prevention.
PubMed 36657917 ↗Conclusion: It may be concluded that, in addition to lowering TC and LDL-C, a considerable improvement in TG or HDL-C can be accomplished by adjusting factors such as oat consumption dose or consumption duration or utilizing oat in conjunction with a proper diet program. To conclude, more research on this topic is required.
PubMed 35192870 ↗Conclusion: Acute supplementation with Avena sativa may improve cognitive function in healthy volunteers. Given the small number of trials included and the disparity of the intervention dose, the conclusions of this study should be interpreted with caution. More high-quality, long-term studies are warranted.
