In this study the combinatorial action of the main phenolic acids (ferulic, caffeic, p-coumaric and sinapic acids) found in extracts of free (ME) and bound phenolic acids (HE) from oat, barley and wheat flour on the modulation of NF-κB activity was investigated. The results show that combination of phenolic acids in low concentrations (<0.1μg/ml) has a significant synergistic, or enhanced effect, on NF-κB activity, while their combination in high concentrations (0.3–70μg/ml) helps to suppress the strong effect obtained by individual solutions of ferulic and p-coumaric acids. The modulation of NF-κB activity observed by HE extracts is the effect of combinatorial action of the phenolic acids present therein, while the modulation of NF-κB activity observed with ME extracts is the result of combinatorial action of phenolic acids together with other phenolic compounds present in the extracts. These results increase the knowledge about the health promoting effect from cereal consumption and dietary phenolic acids.
