Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleDiabetic Retinopathy: Changes in Levels of Orosomucoids in Patients Supplemented with Beta Glucan and Vitamin DRichter Josef, Závorková Martina, Stiborova Ivana et al.The role of beta glucan in stimulating of various biological reactions is getting more and more attention. In this report, we focused on the effects of oral supplementation with beta glucan and vitamin D on changes in serum levels of orosomucoids in patients with diabetic retinopathy. We measured the level of orosomucoids and evaluated the effects of oral supplementation. In … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 15 Apr 2019 · 7,239 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInfluence of Dietary Beta-1,3/1,6-Glucans on Clinical Signs of Canine Osteoarthritis in a Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled TrialA.C. Beynen, E. LegersteeProblem statement: There are indications for a beneficial effect of beta-1,3/1,6-glucans on the clinical signs of dogs with osteoarthritis. Data from a controlled trial were necessary to prove or disprove the indications. Approach: A double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with privately owned dogs was carried out to assess the efficacy of a preparation of beta-1,3/1,6-glucans in the treatment of osteoarthritis. With the … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 10,105 accessesView PDFCite
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 · 12,684 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleIN VITRO TESTING OF MODIFIED COLLAGEN/ HYALURONAN/BETA-GLUCAN SCAFFOLDJan Vojtassak, Dusan Bakos, Martin Bohac et al.Cells and scaffolds belong to main components of tissue engineering. In this study we have performed in vitro cytotoxicity and biocompatibility testing of modified collagen/hyaluronan/beta-glucan scaffold. We used direct contact assay as well as MTT test. Human adipose tissue-derived stem cells were used as biological model. According to obtained results, we can summarize, that modified collagen/hyaluronan/beta-glucan scaffold is non-toxic and … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 12 Jun 2013 · 7,214 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 · 9,979 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsGlucan Supplementation Regulates Secretory Immunity and StressRichter Josef, Stiborová Ivana, Král Vlastimil et al.Sixty-six children were supplemented with beta glucan and dietary nucleotides, another 63 children served as negative control. We evaluated the effects of these supplements on several aspects of secretory immunity such as levels of secretory IgA (SIgA), albumin and SIgA/albumin ratio. In addition, in order to monitor effects of physical challenges and compensatory treatments on stress and reparation of immunity, … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 30 Mar 2017 · 7,835 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGlucans and the Poultry Immune SystemJacqueline Jacob, Anthony PescatoreWith the reduced availability of antibiotics, poultry producers are looking for feed additives to stimulate the immune system of their birds. Some beta-glucans have been shown to improve gut health in poultry subjected to a bacterial challenge, to increase the flow of new immunocytes into the various lymphoid organs, to increase macrophage function, to increase antibody titers after a vaccination … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 12 Apr 2017 · 12,367 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDietary β-glucan Leads to Increased TNF-α Production in the LungRadiah C. Minor, Melody L. Robinson-Wright, Morika Williams, Steven L. HurleyProblem statement: Beta (β)-glucan is notable for its ability to stimulate the immune system and as such β-glucan and products containing β-glucan are used as dietary supplements for livestock and companion animals. β-glucan has been shown to activate macrophages and neutrophils and modulate the production of certain cytokines, including the pro-inflammatory cytokine, Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha (TNF-α). Because TNF-α is … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 11 Jun 2012 · 7,507 accessesView PDFCite
