Biomedical Issues of Dietary fiber β-Glucan

Abstract: β-glucan is a polysaccharide in the form of fiber and the main element of fiber in grains such as barley, oats, yeast and mushrooms. Many studies have examined the efficacy of β-glucan in terms of the lipid lowering effects, blood sugar reduction, weight reduction, immune modulator, and anticarcinogenic effect. However, there is no comprehensive review article on the biomedical issues regarding β-glucan. The authors searched for systematic reviews and clinical experiments for each relevant topic and reviewed t… Show more

“…It's necessary that the substances used in complementary therapy have protective effects as well as anti-cancer properties [39] . β-1,3-D-glucan has been shown in Japanese medicine, experimental studies, and clinical trials to enhance the effectiveness of chemotherapeutic agents on the neoplastic cells and have protective effects on non-target organs [40][41][42] . Therefore, this present experiment examined the effects of β-1,3-D-glucan.…”

“…As enzimas líticas podem ainda ser aplicadas na obtenção de fonte de proteína unicelular para animais e humanos (FLEURI; SATO, 2005) e para a preparação de protoplastos de leveduras e fungos para fusão e transformação celular de microrganismos (SALAzAR; ASENjO, 2007). Estudos também têm sido conduzidos na extração enzimática do polissacarídeo β-glucana da parede celular das leveduras, o qual apresenta atividades antivirais, bacterianas, fúngicas e contra tumores, além de ser utilizado para aplicação cosmética e na indústria de alimentos saudáveis como estimulador do sistema imune (KIm et al, 2006). muitos microrganismos são capazes de produzir enzimas que lisam a parede celular de leveduras (FLEURI; SATO, 2008).…”
