Avenanthramides and Phenolic Acids from Oats Are Bioavailable and Act Synergistically with Vitamin C to Enhance Hamster and Human LDL Resistance to Oxidation
Chung-Yen Chen,Paul E. Milbury,Ho-Kyung Kwak,F. William Collins,F. William Collins,Priscilla Samuel,Priscilla Samuel,Jeffrey B. Blumberg +7 more
TL;DR: Oat phenolics, including avenanthramides, are bioavailable in hamsters and interact synergistically with vitamin C to protect LDL during oxidation and are determined in vitro to protect human LDL against oxidation induced by Cu(2+).
Journal ArticleDOI
Antioxidant and antiinflammatory activities of cyanidin-3-glucoside and cyanidin-3-rutinoside in hydrogen peroxide and lipopolysaccharide-treated RAW264.7 cells
TL;DR: The antioxidant and antiinflammatory effects of C3G and C3R in RAW264.7 murine macrophage cells were determined, and anthocyanins down-regulated NF-κB expression and up-regulated I-κBs expression in LPS-treated macrophages.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of almonds on vitamin E status and cardiovascular risk factors in Korean adults: a randomized clinical trial
TL;DR: Almonds at 56 g/day consumed as a snack favorably modified the Korean diet by increasing MUFA, PUFA, vitamin E, and dietary fiber intake and decreasing % energy intake from carbohydrate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of freeze-dried cranberry powder on serum lipids and inflammatory markers in lipopolysaccharide treated rats fed an atherogenic diet.
TL;DR: It is suggested that freeze-dried cranberry powder may have beneficial effects on cardiovascular diseases by modifying serum lipids and the early inflammatory response.
