β-Glucan is linear polysaccharides containing d-glucose monomers connected by β-glycosidic linkages. Their structural variances are the result of several sources. This research project was designed to assess the anticancer activity by using β-glucan. The in vitro experiment employed breast cancer cell lines from Michigan Cancer Foundation-7 (MCF-7)...

In this study, the protective effects of β-glucan against Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) induced liver injury, toxicity, and changes in AFP, ANA, and anti-dsDNA are explored. 40 mice were allocated evenly and randomly into 4 groups: Group1, the control group; Group2, the β-glucan group; Group3, the EAC group; and Group4, the EAC+β-glucan group. Th...

Several studies have been focused on identifying alternative medicines for the treatment of cancer. This study aimed to investigate the impact of B-Glucans extract (BG) against Ehrlich Ascites Carcinoma (EAC) induced toxicity and tissue damage in kidney. A total of 40 mice were assigned randomly to four groups (G1, control; G2, B-Glucans (75 mg/kg...
