Abstract :
A number of positive clinical trials and interventional data on consumption of oat and related products have shown a beneficial effect in reduction of serum cholesterol and LDL. Oat as a cereal has good amount of protein with better-quality amino acid balance. It has essential vitamins and minerals particularly vitamin 'E' and folic Acid. In addition, oat contains soluble fibre (beta glucan) which plays a significant role in bile acid metabolism. Hence eating of oat and oat related products in daily diet may have a therapeutic effect in maintenance of cardio health.
