Radioprotective Effect of Beta D-Glucan and Vitamin E on Gamma Irradiated Mouse [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2017
Introduction: It is shown that beta-D-glucan is an immunologic system booster with radioprotectory effects. Radioprotectors are chemical components that can alleviate biological damage produced by ionizing radiation.

Structural Features, Modification, and Functionalities of Beta-Glucan

, 2019
Β-glucan is a strongly hydrophilic non-starchy polysaccharide, which, when incorporated in food, is renowned for its ability to alter functional characteristics such as viscosity, rheology, texture, and sensory properties of the food product.

Protection by anti-beta-glucan antibodies is associated with restricted beta-1,3 glucan binding specificity and inhibition of fungal growth and adherence. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
Anti-beta-glucan antibodies elicited by a laminarin-conjugate vaccine confer cross-protection to mice challenged with major fungal pathogens such as Candida albicans, Aspergillus fumigatus and Cryptococcus neoformans.

At a high dose even partially degraded beta-glucan with decreased solubility significantly reduced the glycaemic response to bread.

Food & Function, 2019
Cereal beta-glucan can reduce post-prandial glycaemic responses, which makes it an interesting ingredient to improve the health impact of bread, a staple food with a high glycaemic index (GI).

Dynamic, morphotype-specific Candida albicans beta-glucan exposure during infection and drug treatment.

PLoS Pathogens, 2008
Candida albicans, a clinically important dimorphic fungal pathogen that can evade immune attack by masking its cell wall beta-glucan from immune recognition, mutes protective host responses mediated by the Dectin-1 beta-glucan receptor on innate immune ...
