Hematological and biochemical changes were studied in beluga (Huso huso) weighing 450±50g in the presence of  b,1-3, D-glucan as a single intraperitoneal injection (0.3mg/kg body weight) once, and thereafter a chronic exposure to organophosphate, diazinon at concentration of 1.5 mg/L as a continuous bath for 63 days at 22±1ºC. Results of erythrocyte profile in fish treat...

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...

in the present study, physicochemical, rheological and textural properties of beta-glucan (bg) extracted from four iranian hull-less barley lines (ehds4, ehds18, aleli, cam-b) were investigated. two different methods namely, hot water (hw) and acidic (a) were used for extraction of beta-glucan. results showed that the highest amount of beta-glucan belonged to ehds4.the purity of hw extracted be...

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...

it is well known that several plant extracts have a lactogenic effect. this response may be inducedthrough the stimulation of prolactin release from lactotrope cells. a partial purification of the activecompound indicated that it is rich in pectin and β-glucan. these materials stimulate secretion of prolactinfrom hypophyseal fragments. in the present study, the effect of β-glucan on the secreti...

sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a phytopathogenicfungus that attacks more than 400 plant species of them medicinal plant. in this study the extract obtained from basal stalk rot of helianthus annuus l., attacked by s. sclerotiorum, was subjected to the analysis of ftir to identify the presence of beta-glucan. ft-ir spectrum showed four ranges of bands in 890 cm-1, two overlap band in 1047 and 1078 ...
