Anti-diabetic activity of β-glucans and their enzymatically hydrolyzed oligosaccharides from Agaricus blazei

Abstract: Beta-glucans were prepared from Agaricus blazei Murill by repeated extraction with hot water. The average molecular weights of beta-glucans were 30-50 kDa by gel filtration chromatography. Oligosaccharides (AO), derived from hydrolyzing beta-glucans with an endo-beta-(1-->6)-glucanase from Bacillus megaterium, were mainly di- and tri-saccharides. Though beta-glucans and AO both showed anti-hyperglycemic, anti-hypertriglyceridemic, anti-hypercholesterolemic, and anti-arteriosclerotic activity indicating overall… Show more

“…The decline may also be due to the reduction in cholesterol absorption by the nondigestible polysaccharides such as β-(1→ 3) glucans and the interaction of cholesterol with bile acids, which reduces their reabsorption into the enterohepatic circulation and causes the liver to divert cholesterol to bile acid production, thus reducing the cholesterol concentration in the blood (CHEUNG, 1996). The hypocholesterolemic and hypoglycemic effects of betaglucans, which are present in fungi of the Agaricus genus, attested to in rats, suggests a protective action on the biochemical and metabolic parameters of the animals and consequently, in maintaining the body's homeostasis (KIM et al, 2005;MASCARO et al, 2014). Table 6.…”

“…Another research has been reported that glycosides could stimulate insulin secretion as well. The polysaccharide compounds derived from algae extracts and Agaricus blazei enhanced the insulin secretion in vitro in the pancreatic β-cells (19,20). Oat bran-derived non-starch polysaccharides acted as an active ingredient decreasing the postprandial hyperglycemic response in humans with type 2 diabetes (39).…”

“…The germinated wheat leafs generally are called wheatgrass, in some European countries, USA and India, and consumed as a health food due to a rich source of soluble fibers, vitamins, antioxidants and minerals (18). In the present study, according to evidence that plantderived polysaccharides have stimulatory effects on the insulin response (19,20), we investigated the stimulatory effects of water soluble polysaccharide derived from TASP on insulin release from the pancreatic cells in vitro and in vivo. We also elucidated the involvement of the ATP-sensitive K + channel and Ca 2+ influx with TASP using the pancreatic cells and rat islets, which have been used for the study of insulin secretogogues.…”

“…Trabalhos têm relatado que o AbM apresenta atividade antibacteriana, como, por exemplo, na avaliação in vitro contra agentes patogênicos orais para humanos, tais como Streptococcus mutans (Lund et al, 2009), além de atividade antioxidante (Soares et al, 2009), antidiabética (Kim et al, 2005), forte atividade imunoestimulante (Yuminamochi et al, 2007), bem como efeitos antitumorais e anticâncer (Yu et al, 2009), entre outros.…”
