β-glucan modulates cortisol levels in stressed pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus) inoculated with heat-killed Aeromonas hydrophila
(2019-10-01)
In this study, we show that β-glucan can modulate cortisol release in fish. We simulated a common situation in aquaculture: the transport of fish followed by contact with an opportunistic pathogen and observed what effect ...
β-Glucan reduces cortisol plasma levels, enhances innate immune system after A. hydrophila inoculation, and has lipolytic effects on the pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus)
(2022-01-15)
Although β-glucan is a compound widely used to enhance innate immunity in fish, very little is known about its metabolic effects as described in humans and other animals. This study evaluated the effects of dietary β-glucan ...
Effects of β-glucan extracted from Agaricus blazei on the expression of ERCC5, CASP9, and CYP1A1 genes and metabolic profile in HepG2 cells
(2013-06-01)
The polysaccharide β-glucan has biological properties that stimulate the immune system and can prevent chronic pathologies, including cancer. It has been shown to prevent damage to DNA caused by the chemical and physical ...

β-Glucan enhances respiratory activity of leukocytes suppressed by stress and modulates blood glucose levels in pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus)
(2020-04-01)
We evaluated the immune response of pacu fed with a β-glucan diet (0.5%) for 10 days. After the feeding period, fish were subjected to handling and 3 h after, inoculated with Aeromonas hydrophila. Fish were sampled before ...
Hemolytic activity of alternative complement pathway as an indicator of innate immunity in pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus)
(Sociedade Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2012-02-01)
The objective of this study was to evaluate the methodology to establish the hemolytic activity of alternative complement pathway as an indicator of the innate immunity in Brazilian fish pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus), in ...
β-Glucan content and hydration properties of filamentous fungi
(Springer, 2012-12)
The aim of this work was to isolate and identify filamentous fungi from several sources to study the dietary fiber and β-glucan content. The fungal hydration properties such as water absorption and water holding capacities ...
β-Glucan-induced cortisol levels improve the early immune response in matrinxã (Brycon amazonicus)
(2017-01-01)
This study investigated the role of endogenous cortisol on the innate immune response in matrinxã (Brycon amazonicus) fed with β-glucan, prior to and after stressor exposure and bacterial challenge. For this, we evaluated ...
