This study aimed to elucidate the relationship between the immunomodulatory effects of β-
glucan and the composition of gut microbiota in mice. The mice were fed a diet containing β …

The human gastrointestinal (GI) tract holds a complex and dynamic population of microbial
communities, which exerts a marked influence on the host physiology during homeostasis …

Abstract Beta-glucan (BG), a polysaccharide comprised of interfacing glucose monomers
joined via beta-glycosidic linkages, can be defined as a type of dietary fiber with high …

The β-glucans are the glucose polymers present in the cells walls of yeast, fungi and
cereals. β-Glucans are the major compositions of various nutritional diets such as oats …

Dietary oat β-glucan regulates the gut microbial composition and structure; however, the
interplay relationship between oat β-glucan and the gut microbiota is unclear. In this study …

The immune response can be modulated by nutrients like β-glucans, which are glucose
polymers that are major structural components of the cell wall of yeast, fungi, and bacteria …

Previously, we have shown that oral administration of yeast derived β-1, 3/1, 6-d-glucan
enhances immune regulation and alters the composition of the gut microbiota. However, it is …

Numerous kinds of bioactive polysaccharides are identified as having intestinal
immunomodulatory activity; however, the ways in which the different polysaccharides work …

In the present study, the effects of Lycium barbarum polysaccharides (LBPS) on
immunoregulation and gut microbiota dysbiosis in cyclophosphamide (CTX)-induced mice …

Summary β-Glucans appear to be effective at enhancing immune function and reducing
susceptibility to infection and cancer. A better understanding of the mechanisms of β-glucan …
