Beta-glucan-enriched diets improve immune function, antioxidant activity, and survivability in challenged oysters

Food Hydrocolloids for Health
Beta-glucans are bioactive polysaccharides with immunomodulatory and hydrocolloid properties. This study explores the potential of beta-glucans extracted from mushroom waste to enhance oyster (Crassostrea gigas) immunity and quality, providing a ...

The biological activities of (1,3)-(1,6)-beta-d-glucan and porous electrospun PLGA membranes containing beta-glucan in human dermal fibroblasts and adipose tissue-derived stem cells

, 2010
In this study, we investigated the possible roles of (1,3)-(1,6)-beta-d-glucan (beta-glucan) and porous electrospun poly-lactide-co-glycolide (PLGA) membranes containing beta-glucan for skin wound healing, especially their effect on adult human dermal ...

Oral beta-glucan adjuvant therapy converts nonprotective Th2 response to protective Th1 cell-mediated immune response in mammary tumor-bearing mice.

Folia Histochemica et Cytobiologica, 2007
Beta (1-3)-D-glucans were identified almost 40 years ago as biological response modifiers that stimulated tumor rejection. In vitro studies have shown that beta-glucans bind to a lectin domain within complement receptor type 3 (CR3), or to, more recently

Role of beta-(1→3)(1→6)-D-glucan derived from yeast on natural killer (NK) cells and breast cancer cell lines in 2D and 3D cultures

BMC Cancer
Background Beta-(1,3)(1,6)-D-glucan is a complex polysaccharide, which is found in the cell wall of various fungi, yeasts, bacteria, algae, barley, and oats and has immunomodulatory, anticancer and antiviral effects. In the present study, we investigated

Growth and Carcass Performance in Broiler Chickens Supplemented with β-Glucanase from Aerobic Fungi Aspergillus Niger and Trichoderma Longibrachiatum

The Journal of Poultry Science, 2007
A variety of factors can affect feed efficiency in poultry; among them is β-Glucan. β-Glucan in feeds is often poorly digest and has deleterious effects on nutrient absorption.

Effect of beta-glucan on activity of antioxidant enzymes and Mx gene expression in virus infected grass carp

, 2009
The effects of beta-glucan, an immunostimulatory agent, on the superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities of erythrocytes and Mx gene expression were studied from grass carp that were challenged with grass carp hemorrhage virus (GCHV).
