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

Prepared by the method of Bacon, et al.

β-glucan is a potent inducer of epigenetic and functional reprogramming of innate immune cells, a process called "trained immunity," resulting in an enhanced host response against secondary infections. We investigate whether β-glucan exposure confers protection against pulmonary Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb)

In invertebrates, the prophenoloxidase (proPO) pathway is involved in the phenol-like antioxidant production against invading pathogens. Overproduction of melanin and phenolic substances leads to the disruption of hemocytes (own host cells); therefore, there is a prerequisite to regulate the antioxidant
