Fig. 1. Difference from control in serum triglyceride concentration on the two wheat bran treatments, high-gluten (metabolic, n=24) and normal-gluten (ad libitum, n=24). In the metabolic study, the high-gluten high-wheat fiber treatments were associated with a mean (±SEM) reduction of 13±4% (p=0.005) in serum triglycerides which was not seen with the normal-gluten high-wheat fiber treatments in the ad libitum study (CONTRAST statement in PROC GLM/SAS [41]).
