Mitochondrial Toxicity of Depleted Uranium: Protection by Beta-Glucan
Considerable evidence suggests that mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to the toxicity of uranyl acetate (UA), a soluble salt of depleted uranium (DU). We examined the ability of the two antioxidants, beta-glucan and butylated hydroxyl toluene (BHT), to prevent UA-induced mitochondrial dysfunction using rat-isolated kidney mitochondria. Beta-glucan (150 nM) and BHT (20 nM) attenuated UA-indu...

متن کاملHost-mediated antitumor activity of Lactobacillus casei in mice.
Antitumor activity of Lactobacillus casei YIT 9018 ( LC9018 ) was studied in BALB/c mice by using two syngeneic tumors; methylcholanthrene-induced tumor (Meth A fibrosarcoma) and Kirstein murine sarcoma virus-transformed BALB/3T3 ( K234 tumor). Administration of an LC9018 -Meth A cell mixture induced complete suppression of the tumor growth, while simultaneous injections of LC9018 and Meth A ce...
متن کاملIsolation, characterization, and antitumor activity of a novel heteroglycan from cultured mycelia of Cordyceps sinensis.
A novel heteroglycan, Cordyceps sinensis polysaccharide 1 (molecular weight 1 17 × 10(5) Da), was isolated and purified from mycelia of the fungus C. sinensis obtained by solid-state culture. Structural characterization by chemical analysis, GC-MS, FTIR, and NMR spectroscopy showed that C. sinensis polysaccharide 1 was mainly composed of (1 → 6)-linked α-D-Glc and α-D-Gal, with minor β-(1 → 4)-...
متن کاملImmunomodulatory activities associated with beta-glucan derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
In this study we investigated the effect of beta-glucan derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae on fungicidal activity, cytokine production and natural killer activity. Spleen and peritoneal cells from female C57BL/6 mice, previously injected (24 or 48 h) with 20 or 100 microg of glucan by i.p. route, were assayed. In vivo beta-glucan administration primed spleen cells for a higher production of ...
