Objective: The aim of this study was to observe in vivo effects of “Çeşnibahar bread” on human blood lipid parameters. Çeşnibahar bread is a functional food which includes three kind flours such as barley, rye, oaf and some spices such as thyme, garlic and soybean protein Methods: Healthy eight volunteers were enrolled in this study (5 women and 3 men). During a month, they consumed normal diet and Çeşnibahar bread. Before and after study, their blood lipid parameters were measured. The data were analyzed with SPSS software using paired t-test.

Results: As shown table 1, after Çeşnibahar bread consumption, there were reduction in blood lipid parameters.

Conclusions: Our results show that mixed type bread like Çeşnibahar bread causes reductions in blood lipid levels possibly due to inhibition of cholesterol and other lipids through intestinal channel. At the moment, our study continues with more subjects with and without hypercholesterolemia.
