Summary
This study tested whether adding oat bran to the diet could improve cholesterol, reduce inflammation, and change gut bacteria in people with coronary artery disease. Thirty-two patients who recently had angioplasty took part. Half ate 28 grams of oat bran daily for two months, while the other half received standard care. Researchers measured blood fats, inflammatory markers, and gut bacteria to see if oat bran made a difference.
