Plasma total alkylresorcinol concentration and the C17:0/C21:0 alkylresorcinol ratio.
| Base-line | Week 6 | Week 12 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total alkylresorcinol (nmol/L)a | |||
| FRB (n = 77/80/78) | 2.8 (2.7) | 28.0 (81.6) | 16.1 (56.9) |
| RW (n = 79/74/79) | 2.5 (3.7) | 4.1 (4.7) | 3.7 (4.4) |
| C17:0/C21:0a | |||
| FRB (n = 13/72/62)b | 0.10 (0.14) | 0.67 (0.52) | 0.56 (0.53) |
| RW (n = 19/30/17)b | 0.05 (0.03) | 0.11 (0.31) | 0.08 (0.06) |
a
Values are median (interquartile range).
b
C17:0 was below the detection limit in many participants, which is indicative of little or no rye intake.
