The biological activity of beta-glucans

, 2009
This review summarizes the recent knowledge about the positive effect of betaglucans on human health. Beta-glucans are polysaccharides occurring in the bran of cereal grains (barley and oats and to a much lesser degree in rye and wheat, in amounts of ...

beta-1,3-glucan modifying enzymes in Aspergillus fumigatus

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013
In Aspergillus fumigatus like in other filamentous ascomycetes, beta-1,3-glucan constitutes a prominent cell wall component being responsible for rigidity of the cell wall structure. In filamentous fungi, softening of the cell wall is absolutely required

Structure-Functional Activity Relationship of beta-Glucans From the Perspective of Immunomodulation: A Mini-Review [PDF]

, 2020
beta-Glucans are a heterogeneous group of glucose polymers with a common structure comprising a main chain of beta-(1,3) and/or beta-(1,4)-glucopyranosyl units, along with side chains with various branches and lengths.

Study of the adjuvant properties of beta-glucans from Saccharomyces Cerevisiae yeast

Инфекция и иммунитет
To increase the effectiveness and immunogenicity of modern vaccines, especially subunit ones, it is required to use adjuvants. Polysaccharides, due to their safety and biocompatibility, are desirable candidates for the creation of vaccine adjuvants.

Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus Mykiss) Intestinal Epithelial Cells as a Model for Studying Gut Immune Function and Effects of Functional Feed Ingredients

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
The objective of this study was to evaluate the suitability of the rainbow trout intestinal epithelial cell line (RTgutGC) as an in vitro model for studies of gut immune function and effects of functional feed ingredients.

Enhancing Meat Quality Through Dietary Fiber: Insights Into the Gut Microbiota‐Derived Short‐Chain Fatty Acids‐Muscle Axis

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Dietary fiber (DF) modulates meat quality through the gut‐muscle axis by reshaping gut microbiota, improving intestinal integrity, reducing inflammation, and regulating muscle metabolism. These mechanisms influence muscle fiber characteristics and post‐mortem biochemistry, thereby enhancing tenderness, juiciness, color, flavor, and nutritional value of

Serum Metabolomic Profiling in Healthy Dogs Supplemented with Increasing Levels of Purified Beta-1,3/1,6-Glucans

Animals
Metabolomics has proven to be an effective tool for elucidating mechanisms and assessing the effectiveness of dietary interventions in canine and feline nutrition. In this context, the present study aimed to perform a metabolomic analysis of the serum of

Cross‐Species Single‐Cell Comparative Analysis Reveals Gluconeogenic Features of Hepatocytes in Ruminants

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
In this study, we used cross‐species comparisons to identify ruminant hepatocyte features. We also identified potential genes and TFs involved in coordinating gluconeogenesis in ruminant hepatocytes. By integrating single‐cell data with population genetic analyses, we further identified candidate genetic variation in glucose metabolism and ...

IgG Glycosylation‐Dependent CLEC7A Signaling Drives Podocyte Dysfunction in Lupus Nephritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Lupus nephritis (LN) is a severe complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) that can lead to end‐stage kidney disease and increased mortality. IgG from patients with LN displays abnormal glycosylation, contributing to podocyte injury.
