β-Glucan, extracted from oat, enhances disease resistance against bacterial and parasitic infections [PDF]

FEMS Immunology & Medical Microbiology, 2003
The effect of beta-glucan, extracted from oats, on the enhancement of resistance to infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus and Eimeria vermiformis was studied in mice. In vitro study using macrophages isolated from the peritoneal cavity showed that beta-glucan treatment significantly enhanced phagocytic activity.

A gravimetric method for the quantitative determination of soluble β-glucan content in oat grain

Биотехнология и селекция растений, 2021
Background. Oat (Avena sativa L.) is one of the most important sources of protein, oil, starch and dietary fibers, in particular β-glucans. Dietary fiber serves as a source of nutrition for the intestinal microflora and significantly affects not only its

Cell type-specific differences in β-glucan recognition and signalling in porcine innate immune cells [PDF]

, 2014
β-glucans exert receptor-mediated immunomodulating activities, including oxidative burst activity and cytokine secretion. The role of the β-glucan receptors dectin-1 and complement receptor 3 (CR3) in the response of immune cells towards β-glucans is ...

Protective effect of β-glucan against systemicStreptococcus pneumoniaeinfection in mice [PDF]

FEMS Immunology & Medical Microbiology, 2000
The antimicrobial effect of soluble beta-1,3-D-glucan from Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (SSG) was examined in mice experimentally infected intraperitoneally (i.p.) with Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes 4 and 6B. SSG was administered i.p. either 3 days before challenge or 3-48 h after challenge.

β-Glucan Metabolic and Immunomodulatory Properties and Potential for Clinical Application

Journal of Fungi, 2020
β-glucans are complex polysaccharides that are found in several plants and foods, including mushrooms. β-glucans display an array of potentially therapeutic properties. β-glucans have metabolic and gastro-intestinal effects, modulating the gut microbiome,

β-Glucans as Dietary Supplement to Improve Locomotion and Mitochondrial Respiration in a Model of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Nutrients, 2021
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe X-linked neuromuscular childhood disorder that causes progressive muscle weakness and degeneration. A lack of dystrophin in DMD leads to inflammatory response, autophagic dysregulation, and oxidative stress ...

Gradual solubilization ofCandidacell wall β-glucan by oxidative degradation in mice [PDF]

FEMS Immunology & Medical Microbiology, 1998
Candida spp. is a medically important fungi which induces disseminated candidiasis and candidemia in hospitalized immunocompromised patients. The cell wall of Candida is mainly composed of two polysaccharides, mannan and beta-glucan, and at least part of beta-glucan is basically insoluble in H2O or NaOH. We became interested in when and how particulate
