The antioxidant ability of capsules containing oats avenanthramides on human body was evaluated in present study. Healthy people were randomized to supplementation with oats-derived avenanthramides capsules or placebo for 1 mon. Plasma lipid peroxides and antioxidant status were measured. For 8 capsules (containing 3.12 mg avenanthramides) groups, the levels of serum Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and reduced glutathione hormone (GSH) were significantly increased by 8.4 and 17.9%, respectively (P<0.05), and malondialdehyde (MDA) level significantly decreased by 28.1%. The total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels were lowered by 11.1, 28.1, and 15.1%, respectively (P<0.05). The high density blood lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels in the same treat was increased by 13.2%. Based on our research, it can be concluded that oats extract containing avenanthramides possessed a high antioxidative activity on humans. It indicated that oat avenanthramides could be used to prevent hyperlipemic and angiocardiopathy.
