Recognition of fungal glucans by pattern recognition receptors

, 2003
Glucans are (1→3)-β-D linked polymers of glucose that are major constituents of fungal cells walls. Glucans are known to stimulate innate immunity and they are thought to be fungal pathogen associated molecular patterns.

Correlations of Molecular Weights of β-Glucans from Qingke (Tibetan Hulless Barley) to Their Multiple Bioactivities

Molecules, 2018
β-glucans have been considered the major bioactive components in Qingke (Tibetan hulless barley). However, the structure–function relationships of β-glucans from Qingke have seldom been investigated.

Glucans and disease resistance [PDF]

, 1996
The paper presents the usefulness of beta-glucans as immunostimulants for strengthening the non-specific defense system of a wide range of animals. In Taiwan, researchers tested the effects of beta-glucans on the vibriosis resistance of tiger shrimp ...

Exploring the Bioactive Potential of Mushroom Aqueous Extracts: Antimicrobial, Antioxidant, and Prebiotic Properties

Applied Sciences
Mushrooms provide essential nutrients and bioactive compounds, namely glucans, protein, and phenolic compounds. In this study, two aqueous extractions were performed (M1 and M2) using Pleurotus ostreatus, Pleurotus eryngii, and Agrocybe cylindracea.

Research Progress on the Mechanism and Structure-Activity Relationship of β-Glucans in Regulating the Health Effects of Gut Microbiota [PDF]

Shipin Kexue
β-Glucans, dietary polysaccharides coming from a wide variety of sources, have been researched intensively. Being resistant to oral and gastrointestinal digestion, β-glucans can reach the colon where they are fermented by the gut microbiota, generating ...

β-Glucan in invertebrates

Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2004
b-Glucans, as biologically active polysaccharides, have been used for decades but only recently have become a focus of evolutionary studies. As b-glucans are shown to be active in all animal species studied - from earthworms to humans - we can safely conclude that b-glucan immunostimulation is one of the first defensive mechanisms active across the ...
