For the health condition: Triglycerides (high)
Synopsis
Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 2
Oat bran oil, which is derived from the bran of oats, has received some scientific attention for its potential to help lower high triglyceride levels. The primary mechanisms are attributed to its content of unsaturated fatty acids and beneficial phytochemicals such as plant sterols and tocotrienols. These compounds have been shown in general to have lipid-lowering effects. Some animal studies and a few small human clinical trials have indicated that oat bran oil can help reduce plasma triglycerides, likely by interfering with the absorption of dietary fats and enhancing lipid metabolism. For example, a study published in Lipids (1992) showed that oat oil supplementation reduced triglyceride levels in hyperlipidemic rats. Some human studies using oat-derived β-glucan (a different component of oats) have shown cholesterol-lowering effects, but direct evidence for oat bran oil’s effect on triglycerides in humans remains limited and less robust. Overall, while there is a biochemical rationale and some experimental evidence supporting oat bran oil’s triglyceride-lowering potential, large-scale, high-quality clinical trials in humans are lacking. As such, the evidence is rated as moderate to weak (2/5), and oat bran oil should not be considered a primary therapy for high triglycerides but may offer modest benefit as part of a healthy diet.
