Three Different Types of β-Glucans Enhance Cognition: The Role of the Gut-Brain Axis

Frontiers in Nutrition, 2022
BackgroundDietary fiber is fermented in the lower gastrointestinal tract, potentially impacting the microbial ecosystem and thus may improve elements of cognition and brain function via the gut-brain axis. β-glucans, soluble dietary fiber, have different

3D Structural Insights into β-Glucans and Their Binding Proteins

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021
β(1,3)-glucans are a component of fungal and plant cell walls. The β-glucan of pathogens is recognized as a non-self-component in the host defense system.

β-Glucans, Pneumocystis jirovecii and Atherogenic Inflammation: From Pulmonary Immunity to Cardiovascular Risk [PDF]

Journal of Fungi
The interaction between Pneumocystis jirovecii and systemic inflammation has emerged as a potential modulator of cardiovascular risk. This review describes the potential of β-glucans to contribute to atherogenic inflammation.

Potent induction of trained immunity by Saccharomyces cerevisiae β-glucans. [PDF]

Front Immunol
Candida albicans cell wall component β-glucan has been extensively studied for its ability to induce epigenetic and functional reprogramming of innate immune cells, a process termed trained immunity. We show that a high-complexity blend of two individual

Dectin-1-Mediated Production of Pro-Inflammatory Cytokines Induced by Yeast β-Glucans in Bovine Monocytes

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
Yeast-derived products containing β-glucans have long been used as feed supplements in domesticated animals in an attempt to increase immunity. β-glucans are mainly recognized by the cell surface receptor CLEC7A, also designated Dectin-1.

Revealing the Potential of Lipid and β-Glucans Coproduction in Basidiomycetes Yeast

Microorganisms, 2020
Beta (β)–glucans are polysaccharides composed of D-glucose monomers. Nowadays, β-glucans are gaining attention due to their attractive immunomodulatory biological activities, which can be utilized in pharmaceutical or food supplementation industries ...

Modulation of Animal and Human Hematopoiesis by β-Glucans: A Review

Molecules, 2011
β-Glucans are cell wall constituents of bacteria, yeast, fungi, and plants. They are not expressed in mammalian cells, but they are recognized by mammalian cells as pathogen-associated molecular patterns by pattern recognition receptors and thus act as ...

Distribution of (1,3)(1,4)-β-D-Glucans in Grains of Polish Oat Cultivars and Lines (Avena sativa L.) – Short Report

Polish Journal of Food and Nutrition Sciences, 2016
The distribution of a fraction of soluble dietary fibre (1,3)(1,4)-β-D-glucans was depicted in selected Polish oat grains (Avena sativa L.). Localisation of β-glucans within the grains was visualised by the light microscopy with Calcofluor white as a ...
