The effects of β-glucan have been investigated through the use isolated preparations or natural dietary fibers from whole grain cereals and brans, yeasts, or Euglena. This Special Issue includes original research articles that are based on human intervention studies that address the effects of β-glucan on metabolic diseases and immune function-related markers as well as in vitro and in vivo studies. It also reviews the health benefits of β-glucans in humans.Research & information: generalbicsscBiology, life sciencesbicsscFood & societybicsschumansoat β-glucanacute glycemic responsedietary fiberpreloadcarbohydratesβ-1,3-glucanEuglena gracilisCa2+ signalingintestinal epithelial cellintravital imagingsmall intestineimmune systembarleyβ-glucanmicroarrayshort chain fatty acidslipid metabolism.low molecular weightfermentationprebioticsAutreobasidium pullulansβ-1,3-1,6-glucanphysiological functionoat beta-glucancolitisCrohn's diseaseapoptosisautophagyTLRsDectin-1ratsL cellglucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1)glucose toleranceshort-chain fatty acidssIgAmicrobiotarandomized clinical trialsymptomsgastrointestinal tractmusculo-skeletal systemoatsoatmealbeta-glucanbeta glucanhealth claimregulationfood-health relationshipgastritisinflammatory processantioxidant propertiesparamylonabdominal fatDNA microarraygene ontologyPPAR signalingResearch & information: generalBiology, life sciencesFood & societyAoe Seiichiroedt1332975Morita TatsuyaedtOhno NaohitoedtAoe SeiichiroothMorita TatsuyaothOhno NaohitoothBOOK9910595070503321Beta-Glucan in Foods and Health Benefits3041178UNINA
