?-Glucans, History, and the Present: Immunomodulatory Aspects and Mechanisms of Action
Original language description
The present paper represents a comprehensive up-to-date review of ? -glucans, their chemical and biological properties, and their role in immunological reactions. ? -D-Glucans belong to a group of physiologically active compounds called biological response modifiers and represent highly conserved structural components of cell walls in yeast, fungi, or seaweed. Despite almost 150 years of research, the exact mechanisms of their action remain unclear. The present review starts with the history of glucans.Next, attention is focused on sources and structure, comparing the effects of physicochemical properties, and sources on biological effects. As glucans belong to natural products useful in preventing various diseases, they have been highly sought afterthroughout human history. Based on extensive recent research, this paper explains the various mechanisms of effects and the ways glucans mediate their effects on defense reactions against infections. Despite the fact that predominately ph
