Barley β-glucan consumption improves glucose tolerance by increasing intestinal succinate concentrations

npj Science of Food
Barley is rich in β-glucan, which can alter gut microbiota and metabolome profiles, potentially affecting host metabolism. However, the microbiota and metabolites increased by barley β-glucan remain unclear.

Valorization of Spent Grains from Beer Production through β-Glucan Extraction

Foods
Brewers’ spent grains (BSG) are the major byproduct of the brewing industry. Recently, it has been found that β-glucan, which can be used as a food supplement, can be extracted from BSG and offers the greatest added value. This study aimed to investigate

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.

Enzymes that catalyze cyclization of β-1,2-glucans

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology
β-1,2-Glucans are physiologically important polymers for interactions such as symbiosis and pathogenesis between organisms and adaptation to environmental changes. However, rarity of β-1,2-glucans in nature limits exploration of related enzymes. Recently,

Disease resistance of pacu Piaractus mesopotamicus (Holmberg, 1887) fed with β-glucan

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Effects of β-glucan on innate immune responses and survival were studied in pacu experimentally infected with Aeromonas hydrophila. Fish fed diets containing 0, 0.1% and 1% β-glucan were injected with A. hydrophila.

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 ...

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 ...
