1
We compared the effects of chemical cross-linking on the biological activities of glucans.
2
The alternative complement pathway was not activated by any of the cross-linked glucans.
3
Natural and chemically modified glucans had little or no activity.
4
It is comprised of glucans that form semicrystalline granules.
5
However, the observed changes were modest, and any long-lasting effects of yeast-derived β-glucans remain to be elucidated.
6
These compounds are linear alpha-1,4-glucans esterified with one or two phosphate groups.
7
We recently demonstrated that laforin is the founding member of a unique class of phosphatases that dephosphorylate glucans.
8
Our study revealed for the first time that insoluble glucans is likely an essential factor linking acidogenicity with aciduricity.
9
Dectin-1 is the major macrophage receptor that is known to recognize fungal Beta-glucans leading to induction of various immune responses.
10
These unexpected polymers are associated with unusually low amounts of glucans and a higher proportion of chitin compared with N. crassa.
11
The glucans are found mainly in the outer layers of the endosperm under the aleurone layer, and so are especially concentrated in oat bran.
12
Overall, yeast-derived β-glucans did not affect the vaccination response, and only modest effects on faecal microbiota composition and immune parameters were observed, primarily before weaning.
13
This is a first of its kind report on the effect of the black yeast derived 1,3-1,6 Beta Glucans on dyslipidemia not associated with diabetes.
14
Results: β-glucan was barely detectable in serum of volunteers at all time-points.
15
This work has identified regions associated with glucan binding, toxin activity, and immunity.
16
They are released from starch granules by the glucan hydrolases alpha-amylase and isoamylase.
