Rye bread reduces plasma cholesterol levels in hypercholesterolaemic pigs when compared to wheat at similar dietary fibre level

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Rye is a whole-grain cereal with the potential of contributing to a healthy diet, but research on rye in relation to chronic diseases is scarce compared to wheat and oats. In this study, a total of 17 hypercholesterolaemic pigs were fed high-fat high-cholesterol rye (n = 9) or wheat-based buns (n = 8) with similar dietary fibre (DF) content for 9-10 weeks to study the effect on cardiovascular risk factors.

“…The experimental diets consisted of high-fiber buns either made of rye or wheat flour. The rye buns contained whole-kernel flour and rye bran, while the wheat buns contained wheat flour with added purified wheat fiber high in cellulose (Vitacel WF 600) in order to obtain same dietary fiber level [11] (Table 2). The wheat buns were produced at Cerealia Unibake, Denmark.…”

“…The food factor responsible for the preventive effects of wholegrain and fiber-rich cereal fractions and the underlying mechanisms associated with the grain-induced cholesterol reduction are still far from fully understood. The ability of the fiber complex to increase gut viscosity and thereby delay and/or reduce absorption and reabsorption of nutrients and bile acids, as well as specific effects of fermentation products and bioactive components on regulation of cholesterol metabolism in the liver have previously been suggested as discussed by Laerke et al [11].…”

“…However, only a few studies have used pigs to assess the impact of WG consumption on cardiovascular health so more work in this area is needed before firm conclusions about their value. For example, feeding 2-3 kg bread buns daily for up to 10 weeks containing either whole rye and rye bran improved lipid profiles and insulinaemic responses in hypercholesteraemic pigs compared with a control bread made with refined wheat flour and cellulose to match the total fibre content (59) . While animal models may not always be representative of the human system, their use may allow better insight into how grain-based foods could affect health outcomes.…”
