The effects of β-glucan on human immune and cancer cells

Journal of Hematology & Oncology, 2009
Non-prescriptional use of medicinal herbs among cancer patients is common around the world. The alleged anti-cancer effects of most herbal extracts are mainly based on studies derived from in vitro or in vivo animal experiments.

Dietary and biomarker‐guided strategies as supportive measures in the fragile X syndrome

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract The fragile X syndrome (FXS) is an inherited neurodevelopmental disorder that primarily affects males, often resulting in an IQ below 55, while about two‐thirds of females also experience intellectual disability. Physical features may include an elongated face, prominent ears, finger joint laxity, and enlarged testes in males.

Determination of chain conformation of polysaccharides using a SEC‐MALLS‐Vis

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract For polysaccharides, biological activity is associated with the chemical structure as well as the chain conformation. The chain conformation is conventionally derived from the scaling relationships between weight‐average molecular weight (Mw) and intrinsic viscosity ([η]) or the radius of gyration (Rg) or the translational diffusion ...

Mechanisms for the encapsulation of lipophilic polyphenols in protein/polysaccharide complexes or conjugates‐based nanocarriers

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract Traditional heat processing technology restricts the direct development of lipophilic polyphenols (LPPs)‐fortified foods. For achieving a balance between high retention of biological activity and optimal edible quality, encapsulation of LPPs by proteins/polysaccharide complexes or conjugates‐based nanocarriers (PPCCNs) as food ingredients has ...

The possible mechanisms for β-glucans to prevent atherosclerotic lesions

, 2012
Foods enriched in β-glucans including oat and edible fungi as well as some purified β-glucans have been shown to reduce atherosclerotic lesions. The multiple mechanisms may be involved to affect several aspects of the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis such
