Quantification of amylose, amylopectin, and β-glucan in search for genes controlling the three major quality traits in barley by genome-wide association studies [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014 Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for amylose, amylopectin and β-glucan concentration in a collection of 254 European spring barley varieties allowed to identify 20, 17, and 21 single nucleotide polymorphic (SNP) markers, respectively, associated with these important grain quality traits.

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.

Cereal B-Glucans: The Impact of Processing and How It Affects Physiological Responses
Nutrients, 2019 Cereal β-glucans are dietary fibres primarily found in oats and barley, and have several positive effects on health, including lowering the postprandial glucose response and the improvement of blood cholesterol levels.

β-Glucans in standardized allergen extracts
, 2006 Background: Allergen extracts contain variable quantities of bacterial endotoxin. Recent studies have suggested that (1→3)-β-D-glucans (β-glucans), also microbial cell wall components, may have adjuvant properties that could affect allergen ...

Comparison of the potency of a variety of β-glucans to induce cytokine production in human whole blood [PDF]
, 2013 β-Glucans are components of fungal cell walls and potent stimulants of innate immunity. The majority of research on biological activities of glucans has focused on β-(1→3)-glucans, which have been implicated in relation to fungal exposure-associated ...

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Hyperlipidemia is a major risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Although statins are the cornerstone of lipid‐lowering therapy, their use may be limited in some patients by adverse effects. This study evaluated the possible impact of non‐drug treatment using double‐filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP) on CD14+
