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 ...

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.

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.

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.

Isolation and characterization of periplasmic cyclic β-glucans ofAzorhizobium caulinodans [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2003
Oligoglucose molecules isolated from Azorhizobium caulinodans were characterized by compositional analysis, Smith degradation, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry, and (1)H and (13)C nuclear magnetic resonance analysis. A.

Glucan and glycogen exist as a covalently linked macromolecular complex in the cell wall of Candida albicans and other Candida species

The Cell Surface, 2021
The fungal cell wall serves as the interface between the organism and its environment. Complex carbohydrates are a major component of the Candida albicans cell wall, i.e., glucan, mannan and chitin.

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.

Cell type-specific differences in β-glucan recognition and signalling in porcine innate immune cells [PDF]

, 2014
β-glucans exert receptor-mediated immunomodulating activities, including oxidative burst activity and cytokine secretion. The role of the β-glucan receptors dectin-1 and complement receptor 3 (CR3) in the response of immune cells towards β-glucans is ...

Association of immunological disorders in lethal side effect of NSAIDs on β-glucan-administered mice [PDF]

FEMS Immunology & Medical Microbiology, 2001
(1-->3)-beta-D-Glucan (beta-glucan) is a biological response modifier that regulates host immune response. We have found that the combination of a beta-glucan and a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), indomethacin (IND), induced lethal toxicity in mice [Yoshioka et al. (1998) FEMS Immunol. Med. Microbiol., 21, 171-179].

Comparative prebiotic activity of mixtures of cereal grain polysaccharides [PDF]

, 2019
The main components of the non-starch polysaccharide (NSP) fraction of wheat flour are arabinoxylan (AX) and β-glucan. These are also present in other cereal grains, but their proportions vary with AX being the major component in wheat and rye and β ...
