Identifying beta-glucans and peptidoglycans in medicinal products
INTRODUCTION. Beta-glucans and peptidoglycans are cell wall components of bacteria and fungi that are potential sources of pyrogenic contamination of parenteral medicines. Such impurities can cause adverse immune reactions.

In a four-year period (1997-2000), selected phytonutrients, of which the beta-glucan content is most important for human health, were studied in caryopses of different types of barley varieties and lines (standard, waxy, hulless) from two cropping ...

Revealing the Potential of Lipid and β-Glucans Coproduction in Basidiomycetes Yeast
Beta (β)–glucans are polysaccharides composed of D-glucose monomers. Nowadays, β-glucans are gaining attention due to their attractive immunomodulatory biological activities, which can be utilized in pharmaceutical or food supplementation industries ...

Medicinal importance of fungal beta-(1 -> 3), (1 -> 6)-glucans
Non-cellulosic beta-glucans are now recognized as potent immunological activators, and some are used clinically in China and Japan. These beta-glucans consist of a backbone of glucose residues linked by beta-(1-->3)-glycosidic bonds, often with attached ...

Barley grain non-starch polysaccharides with malting and nutritional significance.
Non-starch polysaccharides (NSPs), (arabinoxylans and beta-glucans), a main component of cell walls of barley grain, are a limiting factor for the utilization of barley production.

ABSTRACT Accumulating evidence suggests that the intestinal microbiota participates in the progression of metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) through microbiota‐host interaction. However, the beneficial role of commensal mycobiota in MASLD progression remains poorly understood.

Dietary modulation of immune function by beta-glucans
The immune response can be modulated by nutrients like beta-glucans, which are glucose polymers that are major structural components of the cell wall of yeast, fungi, and bacteria, but also of cereals like oat and barley.

ABSTRACT Mast cells (MCs), key innate immune sentinels at the host–environment interface, serve as primary responders to invading pathogens. However, their specific contribution to host defense against cutaneous Candida albicans (C. albicans) infection and their synergy with other immune and non‐immune cells remain poorly understood. Here, we show that
