β-1,3-Glucan

β-1,3-Glucan (β Glucan) is an orally active polysaccharide composed of glucose polymers. β-1,3-Glucan increase the activity of IKKβ kinase, enhances the production of nitric oxide. β-1,3-Glucan improves resistance to Vibrio harveyi infection. β-1,3-Glucan enhances immune response, promotes blood pressure recovery, reduces lung, kidney and liver damage, inhibits the growth of syngeneic tumors[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8].
