Brief Summary: This study evaluates the impact of a high phenolic acid intake from wholegrain wheat bread on human vascular function and plasma phenolic acid concentrations in healthy adults. All participants received a high fibre flatbread with enzymatically released free FA (14.22 mg), an equivalent standard high fibre bread (2.34 mg), or a white bread control (0.48 mg).
Detailed Description: Clinical trial data have indicated an association between wholegrain consumption and a reduction in surrogate markers of cardiovascular disease. A number of components of wheat have been suggested to contribute to the cardiovascular health benefits associated with wholegrain consumption, most notably the fiber component. However, phenolic compounds that are bound to arabinoxylan fibre, particularly the hydroxycinnamate ferulic acid, may also contribute, in part, to vascular health effects. These phenolics may be more active when released enzymatically from the fiber prior to ingestion.

The aim of the present study was therefore to determine whether the intake of high fibre bread containing higher free ferulic acid levels (enzymatically released during processing) enhances human endothelium-dependent vascular function to a greater extent than that of traditional wholegrain bread and/or a white bread control.
