β-Glucan Synthesis Gene Family in Crops: Advances in Classification, Function, and Regulation [PDF]

Current Issues in Molecular Biology
β-glucan is an important component of crop cell walls, and its chemical structure is closely related to its physiological function. Among them, (1,3;1,4)-β-glucan (mixed-linkage β-glucan, MLGs) is a unique type of β-glucan in graminaceous crops.

Effects of Dietary β-Glucan Feeding Strategy on the Growth, Physiological Response, and Gut Microbiota of Pacific White Shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei, under Low Salinity [PDF]

Animals, 2023
An eight-week feeding trial was conducted to investigate the effects of a dietary β-glucan application strategy on the growth performance, physiological response, and gut microbiota of Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) (0.49 ± 0.17 g) under low

Binding of soluble yeast β-glucan to human neutrophils and monocytes is complement- dependent [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology, 2013
The immunomodulatory properties of yeast β-1,3/1,6 glucans are mediated through their ability to be recognized by human innate immune cells. While several studies have investigated binding of opsonized and unopsonized particulate β-glucans to human ...

Inhibition of osteosarcoma lung metastases by β-glucan and CD40 agonist is mediated by activation of macrophages and NK cells [PDF]

Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer
Background Osteosarcoma (OS) lung metastases remain a significant therapeutic challenge. Innate immune activation is a promising therapeutic approach. Innate immune agonists can modulate the tumor immune microenvironment and improve therapeutic response ...

High molecular weight barley β-glucan alters gut microbiota toward reduced cardiovascular disease risk

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
The physiological cholesterol-lowering benefits of β-glucan have been well documented, however, whether modulation of gut microbiota by β-glucan is associated with these physiological effects remains unknown.

The effect of a water-soluble β-glucan on intestinal immunity and microbiota in LPS-challenged piglets [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
The intestine is the largest immune and barrier organ in the body, and diarrhea and even death during piglet development are related to dysfunction caused by intestinal barrier damage and inflammation.
