OBJECTIVE
The antioxidative and antinitrative activities of (1→3)-β-D-glucan (1-4μg/ml) from the yeast cell walls of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in human plasma treated with strong oxidants - peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)) (0.1mM) and hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) (2mM) were studied in vitro. The main purpose
BACKGROUND
Pretreatment with β-glucan has been shown to protect against regional ischemia-reperfusion injury, through inhibition of myocardial NF-κB activation. The aim was to examine whether β-glucan pretreatment could protect against the global ischemia-reperfusion injury, which is encountered in
LPS (lipopolysaccharide) induces platelet activation and is a well-known fundamental agent of septic shock and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Biological activity of (1→3)-β-D-glucan is related due to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antitumor properties. We focus our attention
Background: Several case reports and cohort studies have examined the use of (1, 3) beta-D-glucan in cerebrospinal fluid to diagnose fungal meningitis. This systematic review aims to characterize the evidence regarding cerebrospinal fluid (1, 3) beta-D-glucan measurement to detect fungal
BACKGROUND
The 2012 outbreak of fungal meningitis associated with contaminated methylprednisolone produced by a compounding pharmacy has resulted in >750 infections. An important question facing patients and clinicians is the duration of antifungal therapy. We evaluated (1-3)-β-d-glucan (BDG) as a
BACKGROUND
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a highly prevalent condition associated with high morbidity and mortality that can cause or exacerbate heart failure and is an important risk factor for stroke. AF is the disorganized propagation of electrical activity in the atrium, which prevents organized
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol is a heterogeneous group of lipoproteins exhibiting a variety of properties like prostacyclin production stimulation, decrease in platelet aggregation, endothelial cell apoptosis inhibition, and low-density lipoprotein oxidation blockade. Epidemiologic
BACKGROUND
In the past ten years there have been three separate outbreaks of fungal contaminated steroid injections from compounding pharmacies. The 2012 outbreak of central nervous system fungal infections associated with contaminated methylprednisolone produced by a United States compounding
UNASSIGNED
The purpose of this study was to review previously published meta-analyses on the effectiveness of dietary fiber on cardiovascular disease.
UNASSIGNED
An umbrella review of all published meta-analyses was performed. A PubMed search from January 1, 1980, to January 31, 2017, was conducted
Dietary fibre comprises many different, mainly plant-based, compounds that are not fully digested in the human gut. Insoluble fibres include cellulose, hemi-celluloses and lignin and soluble fibres include pectins, β-glucan and hydro-colloids. In the UK, the daily recommended amount has increased to
Cereal-based food products have been the basis of the human diet since ancient times. Dietary guidelines all over the world are recommending the inclusion of whole grains because of the increasing evidence that whole grains and whole-grain-based products have the ability to enhance health beyond the
Dietary fibre is a group of food components which is resistant to digestive enzymes and found mainly in cereals, fruits and vegetables. Dietary fi ber and whole grains contain a unique blend of bioactive components including resistant starches, vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals and antioxidants.
