Orally administered β-glucan improves the hemolytic activity of the complement system in horses [PDF]
Veterinary World, 2021 Background and Aim: Immune-modulating molecules mainly act on innate immune cells, which are central to early defense against invading pathogens and contribute to developing adaptive immunity. Yeast-extracted β-glucan, a model immune-modulating molecule,

Biocatalytic quantification of α‐glucan in marine particulate organic matter
MicrobiologyOpen, 2022 Marine algae drive the marine carbon cycle, converting carbon dioxide into organic material. A major component of this produced biomass is a variety of glycans. Marine α‐glucans include a range of storage glycans from red and green algae, bacteria, fungi,

Osmoregulated Periplasmic Glucans [PDF]
EcoSal Plus, 2017 Among all the systems developed by enterobacteria to face osmotic stress, only osmoregulated periplasmic glucans (OPGs) were found to be modulated during osmotic fluxes. First detected in 1973 by E.P. Kennedy’s group in a study of phospholipid turnover in Escherichia coli , OPGs have been shown across alpha, beta ...

Helminthologia, 2018 Summary Immunosuppression caused by parasitic infections represents the foremost way by which the parasites overcome or escape the host’s immune response. Glucan is a well-established natural immunomodulator with the ability to significantly improve immune system, from innate immunity to both branches of specific immunity.
