General description

Glucan is a natural polysaccharide. They are carbohydrates forming structural components, which is found in the cell walls of yeast, fungi, seaweed and cereals.

Application

Glucan from baker′s yeast (S. cerevisiae) has been used:
  • for immune stimulation
  • to stimulate mRNA expression of a sigma class glutathione S-transferase (GST) in hemocytes
  • to study its effects in rainbow trout intestinal epithelial cell line (RTgutGC)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Glucan enhances anti-infectious immunity, prevents cancer growth, lowers stress and reduces cholesterol level. It has immunostimulatory property. It maintains blood sugar level and rejuvenates skin.

Preparation Note
