<p>Particulate and solubilized β-glucan and non-β-glucan fractions of <em>Euglena gracilis</em> induce pro- and anti-inflammatory innate immune cell responses and exhibit antioxidant properties</p>

Abstract

The effects of EG on immune function are only partially attributable to the content of the β-glucan, paramylon. The regulation of additional cellular responses, such a reactive oxygen species production and resistance to oxidative stress, is likely mediated by currently unknown molecules found in the EG cell.
