(1→3)-β-d-Glucan inhibits a dual mechanism of peroxynitrite stroke

The obtained results demonstrate that (1→3)-β-d-glucan from S. cerevisiae protects plasma components against toxic effects of ONOO− and H2O2 due to its antioxidative and antinitrative activities. Therefore (1→3)-β-d-glucan supplementation during inflammatory may be beneficial not only regard for its ability to stimulate the immune system but also by antioxidative properties.
