Sumario:Objective: to determine the effect of Avena sativa in lipid profile in patients between 20 and 60 years diagnosed with dyslipidemia without any other risk factors. Material and methods: a quasi-experimental study, which included 30 patients with dyslipidemia without other risk factors. They were asked to consumed 60 grams of oat blended in water, on a daily basis during three months and there were measurements of total cholesterol, triglycerides and ldl-c at the beginning, and after four and 12 weeks. Results: there was an important decrease of cholesterol of 48.8 mg/dl and the ldl-c showed a decrease of 35.35 mg/dl at the end of the 12 weeks. Triglycerides did not present statistically important changes. Conclusions: The study suggests that oat fiber lowers plasma cholesterol levels and gives an option to start a treatment of dyslipidemia.
