BACKGROUND Studies that use dietary biomarkers to investigate the association between whole-grain intake and the risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D) are lacking. OBJECTIVE We examined the association between plasma total alkylresorcinols and the alkylresorcinol C17:0-to-C21:0 ratio, biomarkers of whole-grain wheat and rye intake and relative whole-grain rye over whole-grain wheat intake,...

Wholegrain cereals are reported to promote beneficial health effects. Wholegrain wheat and rye are almost exclusive sources of alkylresorcinols, and intact alkylresorcinols together with their plasma and urinary metabolites, 3-(3,5-dihydroxyphenyl)-1-propanoic acid (DHPPA) and 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHBA), have been proposed as biomarkers of the intake of these foods in humans. The pharmaco...

It was hypothesised that compared to rolled rye grain, sodium hydroxide (NaOH) treatment of whole rye grain would reduce the starch digestibility in the rumen whereas the small intestinal starch digestibility would be unaffected. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether rolled and NaOH treated rye grain has digestive patterns similar to rolled and NaOH treated wheat in lactating ...

A sustainable increase in livestock productivity cannot be achieved without the use of animal feed. Due to growing awareness long-term benefits sustainability, there is an increasing interest replacing traditional feed resources with most feedstuffs pig production. Rye production relatively compared wheat. This farm study investigated whether newborn body weight as well antibody transfer piglet...

BACKGROUND Whole grain rye products have been shown to increase satiety and elicit lower postprandial insulin response without a corresponding change in glucose response compared with soft refined wheat bread. The underlying mechanisms for these effects have not been fully determined The primary aim of the study was to investigate if whole grain rye crisp bread compared to refined wheat crisp b...
