Is the in vitro antioxidant potential of whole-grain cereals and cereal products well reflected in vivo?
TLDR
The in vitro antioxidant capacity of cereals is only an approximate reflection of their in vivo antioxidant effect due to differences in antioxidant solubility/bioavailability within the digestive tract and the metabolism/conjugation of compounds such as polyphenols as mentioned in this paper.About:

New hypotheses for the health-protective mechanisms of whole-grain cereals: what is beyond fibre?
TL;DR: Benefits of nutrigenomics to study complex physiological effects of the ‘whole-grain package’, and the most promising ways for improving the nutritional quality of cereal products are discussed.

Millet Grains: Nutritional Quality, Processing, and Potential Health Benefits
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the recent advances in research carried out to date for purposes of evaluation of nutritional quality and potential health benefits of millet grains is presented, as well as challenges, limitations and future perspectives to promote millet utilization as food for a large and growing population are also discussed.

Agronomic biofortification of cereals with zinc: a review
Ismail Cakmak,Umit Baris Kutman +1 more
TL;DR: This review focuses on agronomic biofortification with Zn, which has proved to be very effective for wheat and also other cereal crops including rice, and provides a practical and cost-effective option to tackle the global Zn malnutrition problem.

Rice antioxidants: phenolic acids, flavonoids, anthocyanins, proanthocyanidins, tocopherols, tocotrienols, γ-oryzanol, and phytic acid
Piebiep Goufo,Henrique Trindade +1 more
TL;DR: It is clear that to maximize the intake of antioxidant compounds, rice should be preferentially consumed in the form of bran or as whole grain, and on a whole grain basis and with the exception of γ-oryzanol and anthocyanins, the contents of antioxidants in other cereals appear to be higher than those in rice.

Phytochemical content and antioxidant activity of six diverse varieties of whole wheat.
TL;DR: In this paper, the phytochemical content and antioxidant activity of six diverse varieties of whole wheat are reported; the free phenolic content ranged from 255 (KanQueen) to 499 (Roane)μmol gallic acid equivalents/100 g DW.

Increased oxidative stress in obesity and its impact on metabolic syndrome
Shigetada Furukawa,Takuya Fujita,Michio Shimabukuro,Masanori Iwaki,Yukio Yamada,Yoshimitsu Nakajima,Osamu Nakayama,Makoto Makishima,Morihiro Matsuda,Iichiro Shimomura +9 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that increased oxidative stress in accumulated fat is an early instigator of metabolic syndrome and that the redox state in adipose tissue is a potentially useful therapeutic target for obesity-associated metabolic syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antioxidant properties of phenolic compounds
TL;DR: It is now possible to establish the antioxidant activities of plant-derived flavonoids in the aqueous and lipophilic phases, and to assess the extent to which the total antioxidant potentials of wine and tea can be accounted for by the activities of individual polyphenols.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dietary Intake and Bioavailability of Polyphenols
TL;DR: Both chemical and biochemical factors that affect the absorption and metabolism of polyphenols are reviewed, with particular emphasis on flavonoid glycosides.

Antioxidant Activity of Grains
Kafui Kwami Adom,Rui Hai Liu +1 more
TL;DR: Bound phytochemicals could survive stomach and intestinal digestion to reach the colon, and may partly explain the mechanism of grain consumption in the prevention of colon cancer, other digestive cancers, breast cancer, and prostate cancer, which is supported by epidemiological studies.
