Effects of Medicinal Fungi-Derived β-Glucan on Tumor Progression
β-Glucans have been studied in animal species, from earthworms to humans. They form a heterogenous group of glucose polymers found in fungi, plants, bacteria, and seaweed.

Interactional Effects of β-Glucan, Starch, and Protein in Heated Oat Slurries on Viscosity and In Vitro Bile Acid Binding [PDF]
Three major oat components, β-glucan, starch, and protein, and their interactions were evaluated for the impact on viscosity of heated oat slurries and in vitro bile acid binding. Oat flour from the experimental oat line “N979” (7.45% β-glucan) was mixed

Selection for Greater β-Glucan Content in Oat Grain [PDF]
Oat (Avena sativa L.) β-glucan lowers serum cholesterol in humans. Development of oat cultivars with greater groat (caryopsis) β-glucan content would increase the nutritional and economic value of the crop.

Genetic diversity and genome wide association study of β-glucan content in tetraploid wheat grains [PDF]
Non-starch polysaccharides (NSPs) have many health benefits, including immunomodulatory activity, lowering serum cholesterol, a faecal bulking effect, enhanced absorption of certain minerals, prebiotic effects and the amelioration of type II diabetes ...

Quantification of amylose, amylopectin, and β-glucan in search for genes controlling the three major quality traits in barley by genome-wide association studies [PDF]
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for amylose, amylopectin and β-glucan concentration in a collection of 254 European spring barley varieties allowed to identify 20, 17, and 21 single nucleotide polymorphic (SNP) markers, respectively, associated with these important grain quality traits.

In Vitro Digestion Rate and Estimated Glycemic Index of Oat Flours from Typical and High β-Glucan Oat Lines [PDF]
The in vitro starch digestion rate and estimated glycemic index (GI) of oat flours and oat starches from typical and high β-glucan oat lines were evaluated along with the impact of heating on starch digestion.
