Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of flavonols on cardiometabolic biomarkers: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled human trials to explore the role of inter-individual variability
Regina Menezes,Ana Rodriguez-Mateos,Antonia Kaltsatou,Antonio González-Sarrías,Arno Greyling,Christoforos D. Giannaki,Cristina Andres-Lacueva,Dragan Milenkovic,Eileen R. Gibney,Julie Dumont,Manuel Y. Schär,Mar Garcia-Aloy,S.A. Palma-Duran,Tatjana Ruskovska,Viktorija Maksimova,Emilie Combet,Paula Pinto +16 more
TL;DR: Flavonol consumption improved biomarkers of CVD risk, however, country of origin and health status may influence the effect of flavonol intake on blood lipid levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acute benefits of the microbial-derived isoflavone metabolite equol on arterial stiffness in men prospectively recruited according to equol producer phenotype: a double-blind randomized controlled trial
Sara Hazim,Peter J. Curtis,Manuel Y. Schär,Luisa M. Ostertag,Colin D. Kay,Anne Marie Minihane,Aedin Cassidy +6 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that the EP phenotype is critical in unlocking the vascular benefits of equol in men, and long-term trials should focus on confirming the implications of EP phenotype on cardiovascular health.
Journal ArticleDOI
Orange juice–derived flavanone and phenolic metabolites do not acutely affect cardiovascular risk biomarkers: a randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover trial in men at moderate risk of cardiovascular disease
Manuel Y. Schär,Peter J. Curtis,Sara Hazim,Luisa M. Ostertag,Colin D. Kay,John F. Potter,Aedin Cassidy +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of orange juice or a dose-matched hesperidin supplement on plasma concentrations of established and novel flavanone metabolites and their effects on cardiovascular risk biomarkers in men at moderate CVD risk were examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Composition and content of phenolic acids and avenanthramides in commercial oat products: Are oats an important polyphenol source for consumers?
Gulten Soycan,Manuel Y. Schär,Angelika Kristek,Joanna Boberska,Sarah N. S. Alsharif,Giulia Corona,Peter R. Shewry,Peter R. Shewry,Jeremy P. E. Spencer +8 more
TL;DR: Oatbran concentrate has the highest levels of phenolic acids and avenanthramides, while commercial oat products contained ten phenolic fatty acids and three avenanthramsides.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oat bran, but not its isolated bioactive β-glucans or polyphenols, have a bifidogenic effect in an in vitro fermentation model of the gut microbiota.
Angelika Kristek,Maria Wiese,Patrizia Heuer,Ondrej Kosik,Manuel Y. Schär,Gulten Soycan,Sarah N. S. Alsharif,Gunter G. C. Kuhnle,Gemma E. Walton,Jeremy P. E. Spencer +9 more
TL;DR: It is found that oats increased bifidobacteria, acetic acid and propionic acid, and this is mediated by the synergy of all oat compounds within the complex food matrix, rather than its main bioactive β-glucan or polyphenols.
