β-Glucan in Foods and Its Physiological Functions.

Journal of Nutritional Science and Vitaminology, 2018
β-Glucans are a class of polysaccharides consisting of D-glucose units that are polymerized primarily via the β-1,3 glycosidic bonds, in addition to the β-1,4 and/or β-1,6 bonds.

β-Glucan from Lentinula edodes prevents cognitive impairments in high-fat diet-induced obese mice: involvement of colon-brain axis

Journal of Translational Medicine, 2020
Background Long-term high fat (HF) diet intake can cause neuroinflammation and cognitive decline through the gut-brain axis. (1, 3)/(1, 6)-β-glucan, an edible polysaccharide isolated from medical mushroom, Lentinula edodes ( L.

In Vitro Bile Acid Binding of Flours from Oat Lines Varying in Percentage and Molecular Weight Distribution of β-Glucan [PDF]

, 2005
Two experimental high β-glucan oat (Avena sativa) lines (7.64 and 8.05%) and two traditional lines (4.77 and 5.26% β-glucan) were used to evaluate the effect of β-glucan quantity and molecular weight on bile acid (BA) binding.

β-Glucan-induced reprogramming of human macrophages inhibits NLRP3 inflammasome activation in cryopyrinopathies.

Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2020
Exposure of mononuclear phagocytes to β-glucan, a naturally occurring polysaccharide, contributes to the induction of innate immune memory, which is associated with long-term epigenetic, metabolic, and functional reprogramming.

Preparation and Physicochemical Properties Analysis of Yeast β-Glucan Nanoparticles

Shipin gongye ke-ji
Yeast β-glucan was a multifunctional polysaccharide, but it was insoluble in water and present particles. To broaden its applicability, the yeast β-glucan nanoparticles were prepared by ball milling pulverization using yeast cells of Saccharomyces ...

Novel mixed-linkage β-glucan activated by c-di-GMP in Sinorhizobium meliloti [PDF]

, 2015
An artificial increase of cyclic diguanylate (c-di-GMP) levels in Sinorhizobium meliloti 8530, a bacterium that does not carry known cellulose synthesis genes, leads to overproduction of a substance that binds the dyes Congo red and calcofluor.

Structure-functional activity relationship of β-glucans from the perspective of immunomodulation : a mini-review [PDF]

, 2020
β-Glucans are a heterogeneous group of glucose polymers with a common structure comprising a main chain of β-(1,3) and/or β-(1,4)-glucopyranosyl units, along with side chains with various branches and lengths.

Control of β-glucan exposure by the endo-1,3-glucanase Eng1 in Candida albicans modulates virulence

bioRxiv, 2020
Candida albicans is a major cause of invasive candidiasis, which has a high mortality rate. The hyphal form of C. albicans is virulent and activates the host innate immune response, while the yeast form is hypovirulent and less immunogenic.

Influence of Yeast β-Glucan on Cookies Sensory Characteristics and Bioactivities

Journal of Chemistry, 2018
β-Glucan is biologically active polysaccharide, ubiquitously found in many grains, bacteria, and fungi and much yeast. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of substituting wheat flour by 1, 2, and 4% yeast isolated β-glucan in cookies on the

Impact of changes at the Candida albicans cell surface upon immunogenicity and colonisation in the gastrointestinal tract

The Cell Surface, 2022
The immunogenicity of Candida albicans cells is influenced by changes in the exposure of microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) on the fungal cell surface. Previously, the degree of exposure on the C.
