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.

IgG Glycosylation‐Dependent CLEC7A Signaling Drives Podocyte Dysfunction in Lupus Nephritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Lupus nephritis (LN) is a severe complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) that can lead to end‐stage kidney disease and increased mortality. IgG from patients with LN displays abnormal glycosylation, contributing to podocyte injury.

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

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 ...

Alkali-Neutralization-Induced β-1,3-1,6-Glucan Nanoparticles Enhance the Aqueous Dispersibility, Stability, and Antioxidant Activity of Quercetin

Nutraceuticals
Quercetin is a nutraceutical flavonoid whose aqueous use is limited by poor solubility and chemical instability. Existing polysaccharide carriers may require chemical modification, crosslinkers, multicomponent formulations, or complex processing.

Qualitative and quantitative estimation of beta-glucan (β-1,3-glucan) extracted from keratitis causing Fusarium spp.

The Microbe
Keratitis is a corneal inflammation caused by invasion of the epithelium, stroma, and endothelium. Fusarium is the predominant fungal pathogen associated with keratitis, with β-1,3-glucan may contribute to species-complex specific inflammatory responses ...
