“…MPO values decreasing but not with a significant difference may be due to the rats' count of group numerically. Erkol et al's study-on beta glucan as both prophylactic and therapeutic and it was found that beta glucan administration in the postoperative group decreased MPO, while in the prophylactic group did not provide a significant reduction for MPO [24]. MPO values not significantly decreasing may be the result of the administration of beta glucan prophylactically in our study.…”

“…β-Glucans are potent immunostimulants of both natural and adaptive immunity. Several experimental studies have reported antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, and antioxidant activities of β-glucans (14,(16)(17)(18)(19). Babayigit et al (20) reported that β-glucan is effective in decreasing leukocyte infiltration in lung damage and improving survival.…”

“…Massive accumulation of neutrophils, interstitial pulmonary edema, and increased expression of proinflammatory mediators are the major characteristics of acute pulmonary injury (13). Neutrophil adhesion plays an important role in the development of chronic pulmonary inflammation (14,15). In LPS-induced endotoxemia, enhanced immune response is accomplished by an increased production of the proinflammatory cytokines.…”

“…If these conditions persist, acute respiratory distress syndrome may develop [ 17 ]. Furthermore, in experimental rat models with common bile duct ligation, it histologically demonstrated bronchiolar fluid accumulation and peribronchiolar neutrophil infiltration [ 8 ]. We did not perform lung biopsy in the present study, because this study was conducted in client-owned dogs.…”
