Multiple Antioxidative and Bioactive Molecules of Oats (Avena sativa L.) in Human Health

Abstract

Oats (Avena sativa L.) are rich in protein, fiber, calcium, vitamins (B, C, E, and K), amino acids, and antioxidants (beta-carotene, polyphenols, chlorophyll, and flavonoids). β-glucan and avenanthramides improve the immune system, eliminate harmful substances from the body, reduce blood cholesterol, and help with dietary weight loss by enhancing the lipid profile and breaking down fat in the body. β-glucan regulates insulin secretion, preventing diabetes. Progladins also lower cholesterol levels, suppress the accumulation of triglycerides, reduce blood sugar levels, suppress inflammation, and improve skin health. Saponin-based avanacosidase and functional substances of flavone glycoside improve the immune function, control inflammation, and prevent infiltration in the skin. Moreover, lignin and phytoestrogen prevent hormone-related cancer and improve the quality of life of postmenopausal women. Sprouted oats are rich in saponarin in detoxifying the liver. The literatures have been reviewed and the recent concepts and prospects have been summarized with figures and tables. This review discusses recent trends in research on the functionality of oats rather than their nutritional value with individual immunity for self-medication. The oat and its acting components have been revisited for the future prospect and development of human healthy and functional sources.

A produção sem agrotóxicos no controle de doenças foliares da aveia: indutor de resistência por silício e potássio e zona de escape

“…Neste sentido, conforme abordado por Kim et al (2021) a aveia se destaca por ser um dos dez melhores "superalimentos" do mundo.…”

The Biochemical Alteration of Enzymatically Hydrolysed and Spontaneously Fermented Oat Flour and Its Impact on Pathogenic Bacteria

“…Although avenanthramides are involved in many metabolic pathways like COX2/PGE2 pathways and induce NK-κB inactivation in C2C12 cells, there are many other phenolic compounds that include gallic acid, anthranilic acid, and syringic acid and that have health-promoting properties. For example, syringic acid has anticancer properties in vivo and in vitro by potently inhibiting the proliferation of SW-480 colorectal cancer cells [51,52]. Oat pomace after extraction can be valuable material for further extractions of phenolic content with high antioxidative properties and inhibitory effects on OA-induced fatty liver model in vitro [53].…”

The Progress of Nomenclature, Structure, Metabolism, and Bioactivities of Oat Novel Phytochemical: Avenanthramides

“…In recent years, the beneficial healthy functions of whole cereal foods have received more and more attentions. , The phytochemical information and their biological functions in oats have also been reviewed, , and the potential functions of Avns in the treatment of cerebral cavernous malformation disease have also been highlighted . This review will focus on the research progress in the nomenclature, structure, production, and metabolism of Avns.…”
