Hoson T.
PMID: 12582731
J Plant Res. 2002 Aug;115(4):277-82. doi: 10.1007/s10265-002-0035-9. Epub 2002 Jun 18.

The cell coverings of plants have two important functions in plant life. Plant cell coverings are deeply involved in the regulation of the life cycle of plants: each stage of the life cycle, such as germination, vegetative growth, reproductive...

The effects of diets enriched in beta-glucans on blood lipoprotein concentrations.

Journal of clinical lipidology

Chen J, Huang XF.
PMID: 21291810
J Clin Lipidol. 2009 May-Jun;3(3):154-8. doi: 10.1016/j.jacl.2009.04.054. Epub 2009 May 05.

Dietary beta-glucans lower the blood concentrations of cholesterol in animals and humans. Recent studies have uncovered mechanisms by which dietary beta-glucans may regulate cholesterol homeostasis. There is evidence that beta-glucans sequester bile acids in the intestine, reducing their reabsorption...

Radioimmunotherapy of Blastomycosis in a Mouse Model With a (1→3)-β-Glucans Targeting Antibody.

Frontiers in microbiology

Helal M, Allen KJH, van Dijk B, Nosanchuk JD, Snead E, Dadachova E.
PMID: 32117166
Front Microbiol. 2020 Feb 07;11:147. doi: 10.3389/fmicb.2020.00147. eCollection 2020.

Invasive fungal infections (IFI) cause devastating morbidity and mortality, with the number of IFIs more than tripling since 1979. Our laboratories were the first to demonstrate that radiolabeled microorganism-specific monoclonal antibodies are highly effective for treatment of experimental fungal,...

Beta-Glucans from Fungi: Biological and Health-Promoting Potential in the COVID-19 Pandemic Era.

Nutrients

Mirończuk-Chodakowska I, Kujawowicz K, Witkowska AM.

Beta glucans, complex polysaccharides, prime leukocyte dectin-1 and CR3-receptors and enhance anti-tumor cytotoxicity of complement-activating monoclonal antibodies. We conducted a phase I study (clinicaltrials.gov NCT00492167) to determine the safety of the combination of yeast-derived beta glucan (BG) and anti-GD2...

Pleurotus eryngii improves postprandial glycaemia, hunger and fullness perception, and enhances ghrelin suppression in people with metabolically unhealthy obesity.

Pharmacological research

The aim of this study was to examine potential postprandial benefits of Pleurotus eryngii in nineteen volunteers with metabolically unhealthy obesity. An acute, randomized, crossover-designed trial comparing a meal with Pleurotus eryngii and a control meal was performed. The...

Effectiveness of Oat-Hull-Based Ingredient as Fat Replacer to Produce Low Fat Burger with High Beta-Glucans Content.

Foods (Basel, Switzerland)
