Down-modulation of lymphoproliferation and interferon-gamma production by beta-glucan derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, Ministério da Saúde, 2003-12-01)
beta-glucan, one of the major cell wall components of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, has been found to enhance immune functions. This study investigated in vivo and in vitro effects of beta-glucan on lymphoproliferation and ...
Sulfonation and anticoagulant activity of fungal exocellular β-(1→6)-d-glucan (lasiodiplodan)
(2013-02-15)
An exocellular β-(1→6)-d-glucan (lasiodiplodan) produced by a strain of Lasiodiplodia theobromae (MMLR) grown on sucrose was derivatized by sulfonation to promote anticoagulant activity. The structural features of the ...

beta-glucans in promoting health: Prevention against mutation and cancer
(Elsevier B.V., 2008-03-01)
The polysaccharides beta-glucans occur as a principal component of the cellular walls. Some microorganisms, such as yeast and mushrooms, and also cereals such as oats and barley, are of economic interest because they contain ...

Effects of the polysaccharide beta-glucan on clastogenicity and teratogenicity caused by acute exposure to cyclophosphamide in mice
(Academic Press Inc. Elsevier B.V., 2009-04-01)
Alterations that could lead to the cancer development may also be related to an adverse development of offspring in experimental animals. Some functional foods, which contain the polysaccharide beta-glucan, have been ...
In vivo evaluation of the antimutagenic and antigenotoxic effects of beta-glucan extracted from Saccharomyces cerevisiae in acute treatment with multiple doses
(Soc Brasil Genetica, 2013-01-01)
Ample evidence suggests that cancer is triggered by mutagenic damage and diets or supplements capable of reducing such incidences can be related to the prevention of neoplasy development or to an improvement in life quality ...
beta-Glucan extracted from the medicinal mushroom Agaricus blazei prevents the genotoxic effects of benzo[a]pyrene in the human hepatoma cell line HepG2
(Springer, 2009-01-01)
The mushroom Agaricus blazei is studied for its nutraceutical potential and as a medicinal supplement. The aim of the present study was to investigate the chemoprotective effect of beta-glucan extracted from the mushroom ...
