Study Overview
Brief Summary
Cereal grains contain a wide variety of different phytochemicals which may play different roles in physiology. Their response in plasma and urine after a meal is poorly defined for most cereals. This study will investigate the plasma response and urinary excretion of cereal compounds after eating 6 different types of cereal preparation, with a focus on alkylresorcinols.
Detailed Description
This was a cross-over, randomized, double blind study with 6 arms (flours of different composition). Thirteen subjects completed the trial, where 100 g of each flour, mixed with 300 mL milk, was fed to all subjects.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Plasma Alkylresorcinol Compounds
Time Frame: From 0 to 48 h post dose.
Area under the curve (AUC) over baseline of alkylresorcinol compounds are measured for the 6 interventional arms. Time points are: t = 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 14, 24 and 48 h after product intake.
Secondary Outcomes
- Plasma and Urinary Betaine(From 0 to 48 hours post dose)
- Phenolic Acids(0-48 h post dose)
