Characterization of cereal β-glucan extracts from oat and barley and quantification of proteinaceous matter. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 An extraction method for mixed-linkage β-glucan from oat and barley was developed in order to minimize the effect of extraction on the β-glucan structure.

Immunotoxicity of soluble β-glucans induced by indomethacin treatment [PDF]
FEMS Immunology & Medical Microbiology, 1998 (1 --> 3)-Beta-D-Glucan (beta-glucan) is a biological response modifier that regulates host immune response. However, the side effects of this drug have not been extensively examined. In this study, we found that the combination of a beta-glucan and a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, indomethacin, induced lethal toxicity in mice. Lethal toxicity of

Divergence of barley and oat varieties according to their content of β-glucan [PDF]
Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society, 2017 Barley and oat have been promoted for years as good sources of dietary fiber, especially β-glucan. Studies have shown a positive effect of barley and oat β-glucan on human health and as a result, there has been an increasing demand for β-glucans in the ...

Detection of peptidoglycan and β-glucan with silkworm larvae plasma test [PDF]
FEMS Immunology & Medical Microbiology, 1996 A method to detect peptidoglycan and (1-->3) beta-D-glucan with silkworm larvae plasma (SLP) derived from the hemolymph of the silkworm, Bombyx mori was developed. SLP contains all of the factors of the pro-phenol oxidase cascade, an important self-defense mechanism of insects.

Role of anti-β-glucan antibody in host defense against fungi [PDF]
FEMS Immunology & Medical Microbiology, 2005 We have recently detected an anti-beta-glucan antibody in normal human and normal mouse sera. The anti-beta-glucan antibody showed reactivity to pathogenic fungal Aspergillus and Candida cell wall glucan. Anti-beta-glucan antibody could bind whole Candida cells. It also enhanced the candidacidal activity of macrophages in vitro.

β-Glucan Induces Training Immunity to Promote Antiviral Activity by Activating TBK1
Viruses, 2023 Many studies have shown that β-glucan induces a trained immune phenotype in innate immune cells to defend against bacterial and fungal infections. The specific mechanism involves cellular metabolism and epigenetic reprogramming.

Congo red inhibits in vitro β-glucan synthases of Saprolegnia [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1990 1,3-β- and 1,4-β-glucan synthases from Saprolegnia were inhibited in vitro by Congo red. This dye was found to be a non competitive inhibitor which prevented initiation and elongation of polymer chains.

Physicochemical and Digestive Properties of Yam Starch/Oat β-Glucan Blends
Shipin gongye ke-ji, 2022 In order to study the effect of oat β-glucan on yam starch, the yam starch/oat β-glucan blends were prepared by rapid visco analyzer. The gelatinizing properties, thermal properties, rheological properties and digestive properties of the blends were ...
