Hypocholesterolemic and prebiotic effects of a whole-grain oat-based granola breakfast cereal in a cardio-metabolic "at risk" population
Connolly, Michael L.; Tzounis, Xenofon; Tuohy, Kieran M.; Lovegrove, Julie A. (2016-11-07)Meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials (RTC) have confirmed the hypocholesterolaemic effect of oats and oat based fibers. However, the mechanisms by which oats or oat fractions lower cholesterol is not totally clear. ... -
The reaction of flavonoid metabolites with peroxynitrite
Pollard, Susan E.; Kuhnle, Gunter G. C.; Vauzour, David; Vafeiadou, Katerina; Tzounis, Xenofon; Whiteman, Matthew; Rice-Evans, Catherine; Spencer, Jeremy P. E. (2006-12-01)There is much interest in the bioactivity of in vivo flavonoid metabolites. We report for the first time the hierarchy of reactivity of flavonoid metabolites with peroxynitrite and characterise novel reaction products. ...
