Overview

Randomized trial investigates effects of fermented oat products on cardiometabolic outcomes, suggesting dietary benefits.

Key Points

  • This study aims to evaluate how consuming fermented versus non-fermented oat-based products affects cardiometabolic health and gastrointestinal symptoms.
  • Conducted a 12-week randomised crossover trial with 56 adults with mild metabolic deterioration.
  • Participants consumed fermented oat gurt and non-fermented porridge, each for three weeks as part of their routine diet.
  • Measured cardiometabolic factors and gastrointestinal symptoms at multiple time points using specific nutritional analysis techniques.
  • During gurt consumption, non-HDL cholesterol decreased by -0.15 ± 0.51 mmol/L (p=0.028) and LDL by -0.12 ± 0.46 mmol/L (p=0.047).
  • Ferritin levels decreased significantly after both gurt (-4.00 [-16.50, 6.25] μg/L, p=0.015) and porridge consumption (-7.50 [-20.50, 4.25] μg/L).
  • Insulin levels significantly decreased by -2.22 ± 6.16 mU/L (p=0.015) during gurt consumption in participants starting with porridge.
