Research output: Contribution to journal › Article

Abstract

Epidemiological studies have linked whole grain intake to the prevention of the metabolic syndrome, obesity and associated chronic diseases such as CVD and T2D. The Nutrition module within the HEALTHGRAIN project, included 10 partners and undertook in vitro, animal and humanin vivo studies with the overall aims of elucidating the components and mechanisms underlying the health benefits of cereal grains.
