Role of β-glucan in biology of gastrointestinal tract
نویسندگان
چکیده
Glucans, despite decades of intensive research, has been used only recently in the evaluation of intestinal biology and diseases. This review is focused on comprehensive summary of the current knowledge of transport and absorption through the gastrointestinal tract, therapy of ulcerative colitis by glucan and effects of glucan on gastrointestinal track-related tumors. Studies demonstrating the palliative effects of orally-given glucan may have significant clinical impact, since glucan can be easily added to the food. Journal of Nature and Science, 1(7):e129, 2015

Mathematical Analysis of Drug Release for Gastrointestinal Targeted Delivery Using β-Lactoglobulin Nanoparticle
To answer challenge of targeted and controlled drug release in oral delivery various materials were studied by different methods. In the present paper, controlled metal based drug (Pd(II) complex) release manner of β‑Lactoglobulin (β-LG) nanoparticles was investigated using mathematical drug release model in order to design and production of a new oral drug delivery system for gastrointestinal ...
متن کاملβ-glucan Exposure on the Fungal Cell Wall Tightly Correlates with Competitive Fitness of Candida Species in the Mouse Gastrointestinal Tract
Candida albicans is responsible for ~400,000 systemic fungal infections annually, with an associated mortality rate of 46-75%. The human gastrointestinal (GI) tract represents the largest natural reservoir of Candida species and is a major source of systemic fungal infections. However, the factors that control GI colonization by Candida species are not completely understood. We hypothesized tha...
متن کاملProteomic analysis of muscle tissue from rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fed dietary β-glucan
The aim of this study was to examine the changes in muscle proteome of the rainbow trout fed dietary β-glucan. The experimental diets contained 0 (control), 0.1% and 0.2% β-1,3/1,6 yeast glucan. First, feeding larvae were fed to apparent satiation nine times per day with their respective diets over two months. The percentage of body weight gain and feed efficiency of fish fed 0.2% diet was sign...
متن کاملA review of the most common prebiotic combinations, with an emphasis on inulin
Introduction Prebiotics are indigestible substances in the upper gastrointestinal tract that have a positive effect on the health host improvement due to the stimulation of growth and activity of a group of beneficial bacteria in the colon (probiotics). Short-chain fructooligosaccharides such as β-glucan fibre, resistant starch, pectin, inulin and many indigestible carbohydrates are examples o...
متن کاملGlycolytic Activities in the Larval Digestive Tract of Trypoxylus dichotomus (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae)
The larvae of the Japanese horned beetle, Trypoxylus dichotomus (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Dynastinae), are an example of a saprophage insect. Generally, Scarabaeid larvae, such as T. dichotomus, eat dead plant matter that has been broken down by fungi, such as Basidiomycota. It is thought that β-1,3-glucan, a constituent polysaccharide in microbes, is abundant in decayed plant matter. Studies ...
