Structures, Biosynthesis, and Physiological Functions of (1,3;1,4)-β-d-Glucans
Cells, 2021 (1,3;1,4)-β-d-Glucans, also named as mixed-linkage glucans, are unbranched non-cellulosic polysaccharides containing both (1,3)- and (1,4)-β-linkages.

β-glucans and eicosapolyenoic acids as MAMPs in plant–oomycete interactions: past and present [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015 Branched β-1,3-glucans and the eicosapolyenoic acids (EP) are among the best characterized oomycete elicitors that trigger innate immune responses in plants. These elicitors were identified over three decades ago, and they were useful in the study of the sequence of physiological, biochemical and molecular events that induce resistance in plants ...

Overview of (1→3)-β-D-glucan immunobiology
Mediators of Inflammation, 1997 Glucans are (1→3)-β-D-glucose polymers that are found in the cell wall of fungi, bacteria and plants. Glucans are known to stim ulate humoral and cell-mediated immunity in humans and animals.

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

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.

Polish Journal of Food and Nutrition Sciences, 2020 The study aimed to determine the effect of the addition level and structure of β-glucans on the functional properties and sensory attributes of low-fat ice cream. The experimental ice cream was produced with the addition of 0.5% and 1% highly purified (1-

β-Glucans (Saccharomyces cereviseae) Reduce Glucose Levels and Attenuate Alveolar Bone Loss in Diabetic Rats with Periodontal Disease. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The objective of this study was to assess the effects of oral ingestion of β-glucans isolated from Saccharomyces cereviseae on the metabolic profile, expression of gingival inflammatory markers and amount of alveolar bone loss in diabetic rats with ...
