Fasting plasma brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) concentrations, 10.5 h following the RKB and WWB evening meals ^1.

Test Variable	WWB		RKB		%Δ 2
	Mean	SEM	Mean	SEM
BDNF, fasting (pg/mL) 3	385.5	22.7	489.6	27.2	27 ***

¹ Data are presented as means (± SEM) that include data from two test occasions for each product, i.e., ‘RKB’ include RKB consumed as a single evening meal (one day; 1D) and as three consecutive evening meals (three days; 3D), and ‘WWB’ include data from WWB 1D and WWB 3D. ² The percentage change is calculated as the difference from the WWB to RKB. ³ n_1D = 18, n_3D = 19. *** Different from WWB p = 0.001. BDNF, brain-derived neurotrophic factor; RKB, rye kernel-based bread; WWB, white wheat flour-based bread.
