β-glucans and probiotics [PDF]
, 2017 In the recent decades, several health-promoting features have been ascribed to β-glucans. Biological properties such as anti-cancer, antiinflammatory and immune-modulating activity have been claimed for these polysaccharides.

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 ...

Effects of Medicinal Fungi-Derived β-Glucan on Tumor Progression
Journal of Fungi, 2021 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.

Novel Antihypertension Mechanism of β-Glucan by Corin and ANP-Mediated Natriuresis in Mice
Mycobiology, 2020 Many of the β-glucans are known to have antihypertensive activities, but, except for angiotensin-converting enzyme II inhibition, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Corin is an atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)-converting enzyme.

β-Glucan-Induced IL-10 Secretion by Monocytes Triggers Porcine NK Cell Cytotoxicity
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Beta-glucans are naturally occurring polysaccharides present in cell walls of fungi, yeast, bacteria, cereals, seaweed, and algae. These microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) possess immunomodulatory properties.
