β-glucan attenuates cognitive impairment via the gut-brain axis in diet-induced obese mice

Microbiome, 2020
Background “Western” style dietary patterns are characterized by a high proportion of highly processed foods rich in fat and low in fiber. This diet pattern is associated with a myriad of metabolic dysfunctions, including neuroinflammation and cognitive ...

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.

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.

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 ...

β-Glucan, extracted from oat, enhances disease resistance against bacterial and parasitic infections [PDF]

FEMS Immunology & Medical Microbiology, 2003
The effect of beta-glucan, extracted from oats, on the enhancement of resistance to infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus and Eimeria vermiformis was studied in mice. In vitro study using macrophages isolated from the peritoneal cavity showed that beta-glucan treatment significantly enhanced phagocytic activity.

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 ...

Protective effect of β-glucan against systemicStreptococcus pneumoniaeinfection in mice [PDF]

FEMS Immunology & Medical Microbiology, 2000
The antimicrobial effect of soluble beta-1,3-D-glucan from Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (SSG) was examined in mice experimentally infected intraperitoneally (i.p.) with Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes 4 and 6B. SSG was administered i.p. either 3 days before challenge or 3-48 h after challenge.

Could the Induction of Trained Immunity by β-Glucan Serve as a Defense Against COVID-19?

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
As the SARS-CoV-2 virus wreaks havoc on the populations, health care infrastructures and economies of nations around the world, finding ways to protect health care workers and bolster immune responses in the general population while we await an effective

Individual and Interactional Effects of β-Glucan, Starch, and Protein on Pasting Properties of Oat Flours [PDF]

, 2010
Seven experimental oat lines with high (6.2−7.2%), medium (5.5−5.9%), and low (4.4−5.3%) β-glucan concentrations were evaluated for contributions of β-glucan, starch, protein, and their interactions, to pasting properties of oat flours by using a Rapid ...

Gradual solubilization ofCandidacell wall β-glucan by oxidative degradation in mice [PDF]

FEMS Immunology & Medical Microbiology, 1998
Candida spp. is a medically important fungi which induces disseminated candidiasis and candidemia in hospitalized immunocompromised patients. The cell wall of Candida is mainly composed of two polysaccharides, mannan and beta-glucan, and at least part of beta-glucan is basically insoluble in H2O or NaOH. We became interested in when and how particulate
