The Geastrum saccatum a mushroom, native to Brazil, is produced under natural conditions in the unexplored reserve of Mata da Estrela-RN. This species has curative properties for eye infections and diseases such as asthma. The tissues of this mushroom contain carbohydrates, proteins, lipids,
Caripia montagnei is a basidiomycete species which contains polysaccharides with immunomodulatory properties. An extract of this mushroom underwent removal of the fat content by organic solvent and subsequently proteolysis. The aqueous phase obtained after proteolysis was precipitated with methanol
Compared to the significant immunomodulation of cell wall component(s) of bacterium such as lipopolysaccharide (E. Coli), that of pathogenic fungi has not been well elucidated, especially in vivo. Furthermore, although it has been implied that beta-(1, 3)-glucan of fungi possesses various biological
Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PcP) is a common and potentially fatal opportunistic infection in immunosuppressed patients, and the standard trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMZ) treatment has serious side effects. The cell wall of the causative fungal pathogen is enriched in 1-3-β-D-glucan,
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of beta-D-glucan on the experimental diabetic rat colon anastomosis model.
BACKGROUND
Beta-D-glucan is a commonly used macrophage activator and promotes wound healing by increasing macrophage infiltration into the wound. The decrease in
OBJECTIVE
The authors aimed to investigate the effect of β-Glucan on healing of an experimental left-sided colon anastomosis model.
METHODS
Twenty adult male Wistar albino rats were randomized into two groups which had colonic transection and end-to-end anastomosis. Group I (Control): anastomosis
The tea prepared from leaves and thorns of Dasyphyllum brasiliensis (Asteraceae) is used in the traditional medicine in Brazil for the treatment of oral and oropharyngeal diseases. In this study, we investigated the anti-inflammatory activity of this plant. The aqueous crude extract (ACE), the
A (1 leads to 6)-branched (1 leads to 3)-beta-D-glucan (T-5-N), isolated from a M sodium hydroxide extract of the fruit bodies of Dictyophora indusita Fisch., markedly exhibited anti-inflammatory effects on both carrageenan-induced edema and scalded edematous hyperalgesia in rat's hindpaws. The
The present study was conducted to compare the efficacy of unirradiated beta-glucan (UBG) and gamma irradiated beta-glucan (GIBG) against acetaminophen (APAP) induced hepatotoxicity in mice. Mice of BALB/c strain were pretreated with UBG and GIBG (50mg/kg, p.o.) for 7 days and on the 8th day they
The purpose of this study was to develop an efficient wound healing PVA-biopolymer composite hydrogel using the polysaccharide derived from Egyptian Avena sativa L. The prepared polysaccharide showed high β-glucan content which accelerates wound healing. The β-glucan content was 13.28% and GC
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease of mainly infants and children. Currently, the development of safe and effective treatments for AD is urgently required. The present study was conducted to investigate the immunomodulatory effects of yeast-extracted β-1,3/1,6-glucan
The inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) production is considered to be a promising approach to the treatment of various diseases, including inflammation and cancer. In this study, we examined the effects of the Agrocybe chaxingu beta-glucan (polysaccharide) on
Lei Wan, Poliporus mylittae Cook et Mass (Omphalia lapidescens Schraet) is a kind of fungus used in traditional Chinese medicine, as an anthelminthic. From Lei Wan, an active component designated as S-4001 had been isolated. Preliminary results indicate that S-4001 belongs to D, beta, 1-3 glucan
Polyporus dermoporus mushroom, native to Brazil, is produced under natural conditions in the unexplored reserve of Mata da Estrela-Rio Grande do Norte-RN. These mushrooms were delipidated with chloroform:methanol (2:1 v/v), extracted with water at 100 °C, and fractionated with ethanol (one and three

UNASSIGNED
The study aimed to reveal the effect of cinnamaldehyde on the fungal cell wall and verify its efficacy on invasive pulmonary
