Chemistry of beta-1,3/1,6-glucans Beta-glucans comprise a very diverse group of polysaccharides (even paper) in which glucose molecules as the only building block are linked together by beta-linkages. Only very few beta-glucan structures, notably beta-1,3/ 1,6-glucans, are bioactive in the sense that they interact with receptors on immune cells and elicit specific biological responses. Beta-1,3...

A H2O2-induced oxidative stress injury cell model was established to investigate the antioxidant effect of nano-selenium on mouse spermatocyte lines and regulation mechanism expression level activity selenium-containing enzymes induced by stress. safe effective nano-drug system functionalized nanoparticles (SeNPs) developed with lentinan (LNT) (SeNPs@LNT). Mice line GC2-spg cells were treated S...

Lentinan (LNT) is extracted from the fruiting body of Lentinus edodes. Its active ingredient β−1,3-dextran and has many biological activities, but its rheological characteristics antibacterial mechanism when mixed with saliva are rarely reported. In this study, LNT artificial (AS) mixture was used to investigate analysis against Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans). The results showed that apparent...
