Review ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePromising Effects of Beta-Glucans on Metabolism and on the Immune Responses: Review ArticleViviam de Oliveira Silva, Natália Oliveira de Moura, Larissa Jahnel Rodrigues de Oliveira et al.A public health issue, Diabetes mellitus, affects millions of people around the globe. Ingestion of foods with a low glycemic index - fiber-rich meals-such as beta-glucans, is increasing as an important alternative for diabetes control. These compounds act reducing parameters such as blood glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides, by decreasing the absorption of glucose and lipids by enterocytes and eventually promote … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 29 Mar 2017 · 12,689 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDietary Beta-1,3/1,6-Glucans Reduce Clinical Signs of Canine AtopyA. C. Beynen, D. H.J. Saris, P. M. Paap et al.Problem statement: There was evidence that beta-1,3/1,6-glucans modulate inflammatory activity. In an open, non-controlled trial, purified beta-1,3/1,6-glucans were found to improve the clinical signs of dogs with undefined chronic skin disorders. Given the design of that study, further work was required on the efficacy of beta-1,3/1,6-glucans in the treatment of canine atopy. Approach: The influence of a purified preparation of … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 9 Jan 2012 · 9,984 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsLentinan Properties in Anticancer Therapy: A Review on the Last 12-Year LiteratureLuca Vannucci, Petr Sima, Vaclav Vetvicka, Jiri KrizanThe effects of β-glucan in cancer are the most studied biological effects of β-glucan. From all available β-glucans, the most data are available on lentinan, mostly because it is used in clinical practice for over 20 years. Current review represent a state-of-the-art comprehensive review of knowledge obtained in last twelve years. …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 12 Apr 2017 · 12,760 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsFrom Hyperthermia to Immunomodulating PolysaccharidesNovak Miroslav, Vetvicka VaclavNatural polysaccharides remain overlooked as part of naturally occurring bioactive molecules. The current knowledge results in numerous clinical trials, from first observations of their effects on various diseases to precise chemical characterization and decades of biological evaluation. The aim of this report is to summarize historical perspective of the route from the first anecdotical observation to the current position, with … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 30 Mar 2017 · 7,085 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPhysiological Effects of a Combination of Cinnulin with ProbioticsVetvicka Vaclav, Vetvickova JanaThe search for an optimal combination of natural immunomodulators led us to study the biological effects of the combination of a cinnamon extract Cinnulin PF and probiotic LactoSpore. We found that this combination has strong synergetic effects on phagocytosis and on regulation of cholesterol and blood sugar levels. In addition, the Cinnulin/LastoSpore combination also reduced intestinal damage in mouse model … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 2 Oct 2013 · 8,225 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAn Overview of the Antimicrobial Activity of Some Microbial EnzymesAkram N. Salah, Hayam Atallah AlwabsiEnzymes are substances produced by living organisms that are used to catalyze some biological and biochemical reactions as they either catalyze some types of polysaccharides and proteins or lyse complex materials such as polymers and lipids. Microbial enzymes are defined as the enzymes that can be extracted and purified from bacterial strains such as Bacillus spp., Pseudomonas spp., Streptomyces, or … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 2 · 11 Jun 2024 · 6,091 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAlkali Pretreatment and Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Cattails from Constructed WetlandsBo Zhang, Abolghasem Shahbazi, Lijun Wang et al.Problem statement: To date, production of liquid fuel, particularly ethanol, has only been economically feasible from food crops that are high in sugar and starch. However, the use of arable land for fuel rather than for food production and the use of a food source for fuel rather than as food have created issues in prices and availability of traditional … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 9,115 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Influence of Trichoderma viride Cellulase Enzyme Concentration on Saccharification of Waste Paper MaterialsKhomotso M. P. Mokatse, M. Alfred Mogale, J. Pieter H. Van WykEnzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic materials is one of the major steps in the commercialization process of converting cellulosic substrates into bio-products. The saccharification of lignocellulosic materials is usually achieved by a synergistic action of an enzyme mixture consisting of multiple cellulase enzymes such as endo-and exo-glucanase, cellobiohydrolase and β-glucosidase with different mode of actions. During the enzymatic hydrolysis of the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 4 · 28 Oct 2021 · 6,458 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSuppression of Salicylic Acid-Mediated Plant Defense Responses During Initial Infection of Dyer's Woad by Puccinia thlaspeosBradley R. Kropp, Elizabeth ThomasProblem statement: Puccinia thlaspeos is a microcyclic rust pathogen that is being investigated as a potential biocontrol agent of the noxious weed, dyer’s woad (Isatis tinctoria). Although, the initial events in the colonization of dyer’s woad by the rust pathogen has been elucidated using scanning electron microscopy and PCR, little is known regarding the susceptibility response of this plant to … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 4 Aug 2011 · 8,035 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractResistance to Citrus Canker in Key/Mexican Lime Induced by β-Aminobutyric Acid and Green TeaB. Beheshti, G.R. Sharifi-Sirchi, M. Mansouri et al.Citrus bacterial canker, caused by Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri (Xcc), is a destructive disease. So far used chemicals to control this pathogen are either not effective or have harmful effects on the environment. To improve control of this disease, lime (Citrus aurantifolia) plants inoculated with Xcc were treated with β-Aminobutyric Acid (BABA), ascorbic acid (vitamin C), thiamin (vitamin B1), green … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 6 Jun 2011 · 8,191 accessesView PDFCite
