D-Glucan

SKU: orb2941202

Description

D-Glucan is an effective oral immunostimulant that acts through the Dectin-1 receptor, while also exhibiting antioxidant properties that reduce TNF-α. D-Glucan reduces oxidative stress and inflammatory responses by activating macrophages and neutrophils to scavenge free radicals, and improves insulin sensitivity. D-Glucan enhances the activity of the antioxidant enzyme glutathione, inhibits gluconeogenesis, activates GK, and promotes glycolysis. D-Glucan is suitable for research on liver injury protection (against acetaminophen toxicity), radiation protection (synergistic with vitamin E), and diabetes (improvement of glucose metabolism).
