nitric oxide in plants: properties, biosynthesis and physiological functions
nitric oxide (no) is an important signalling molecule with diverse physiological functions inplants. in the last years, many advances have been obtained regarding no synthesis and its physiologicaleffects in plants. it was found to play a crucial role in plant growth and development, starting fromgermination to flowering, ripening of fruit and senescence of organs, respiratory metabolism, as we...
متن کاملLeukocyte activation by (1→3)-β-D glucans
We studied the activities of several kinds of beta-glucans, including sonifilan, grifolan, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum glucan, laminarin and zymosan, on macrophages. Preculture of macrophages with inactive beta-glucans rendered the cells unresponsive to subsequent stimulation with grifolan, suggesting a specific pathway in the beta-glucan structure. The importance of protein C and phosphorylation ...
متن کاملβ-glucans and cholesterol (Review)
Hypercholesterolemia is one of primary risk factors of cardiovascular disease, together with metabolic syndrome, hypertension and diabetes. Although progress has been made, the search for novel methods of preventing and treating dyslipidemia is ongoing and current therapies for cardiovascular disease induce various side effects. β‑glucans are linear unbranched polysaccharides found in various n...
متن کاملClinical and Physiological Perspectives of β-Glucans: The Past, Present, and Future
β-Glucans are a group of biologically-active fibers or polysaccharides from natural sources with proven medical significance. β-Glucans are known to have antitumor, anti-inflammatory, anti-obesity, anti-allergic, anti-osteoporotic, and immunomodulating activities. β-Glucans are natural bioactive compounds and can be taken orally, as a food supplement, or as part of a daily diet, and are conside...
متن کاملPotentiation of Innate Immunity by β-Glucans
β-Glucans have been known to exhibit antitumor activities by potentiating host immunity by an unknown mechanism. The C-type lectin dectin-1, a β-glucan receptor, is found on the macrophage and can recognize various β-glucans. Previously, we demonstrated the presence of β-glucan receptor, dectin-1, on the Raw 264.7 cells as well as on murine mucosal organs, such as the thymus, the lung, and the ...
