Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the antioxidative effects of alkylresorcinols (AR), originating from the rye fiber, on serum LDL particles and the use of AR or it's metabolites as biomarkers for rye fiber intake and the effect of additional plants sterols, incorporated in the rye bread, on serum total and LDL cholesterol concentration.
