Congo red inhibits in vitro β-glucan synthases of Saprolegnia [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1990 1,3-β- and 1,4-β-glucan synthases from Saprolegnia were inhibited in vitro by Congo red. This dye was found to be a non competitive inhibitor which prevented initiation and elongation of polymer chains.

Association of immunological disorders in lethal side effect of NSAIDs on β-glucan-administered mice [PDF]
FEMS Immunology & Medical Microbiology, 2001 (1-->3)-beta-D-Glucan (beta-glucan) is a biological response modifier that regulates host immune response. We have found that the combination of a beta-glucan and a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), indomethacin (IND), induced lethal toxicity in mice [Yoshioka et al. (1998) FEMS Immunol. Med. Microbiol., 21, 171-179].

The effects of β-glucan on human immune and cancer cells
Journal of Hematology & Oncology, 2009 Non-prescriptional use of medicinal herbs among cancer patients is common around the world. The alleged anti-cancer effects of most herbal extracts are mainly based on studies derived from in vitro or in vivo animal experiments.

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

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

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.
