Summary

The purpose of this research was to understand the effects of bioactive compounds found in wheat cereal on human immunity. Subjects came in for a baseline blood draw, consumed whole wheat bran cereal daily for 21 days, and returned for a final blood draw. Immune function assays were performed at both sampling times. It was predicted that eating wheat bran would benefit immune function.

Conditions

  • Endocrine, Nutritional, Metabolic and Immunity Disorders

Interventions

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

50 grams of whole wheat bran cereal

This arm was randomized to eat 50 grams of whole wheat cereal during the day for 3 weeks. At baseline and at week 3 a blood sample was taken to determine if there was any alteration to the proliferation of gamma-delta T-cells.

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

100 grams of whole wheat bran cereal

This arm was randomized to eat 100 grams of whole wheat cereal during the day for 3 weeks. At baseline and at week 3 a blood sample was taken to determine if there was any alteration to the proliferation of gamma-delta T-cells.
