In this paper, we aimed to study the role of mannose receptor (MR) in oligochitosan induced RAW264.7 (a murine macrophage cell line) activation. Oligochitosan, which

In order to prevent the browning of the chitooligomer product prepared from enzymatic hydrolysis, the chitooligomers were reduced by potassium borohydride. The chemical structures and

N-Acetylchitooligosaccharide (N-acetyl-COs) was prepared by N-acetylation of chitooligosaccharide (COs). In vitro study using human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) revealed that both N-acetyl-COs and COs

Chitooligosaccharides (COS) was obtained from chitosan by depolymerization with enzyme and analyzed by HPLC and TOF-MS, and the results indicated that the polymerization degree of

Chitooligosaccharides (COS), with a polymerization degree of 2-8, were prepared by the enzymic hydrolysis of chitosan. The anti-angiogenic activity of COS in subcutaneous xenografts in

Four chitosan samples with different molecular weight Mw and the degree of deacetylation DD (HCS 7.60 · 105 and 85.5%, MCS 3.27 · 104 and

There are various model systems of host–parasite interactions that have contributed to our knowledge of signaling. This minireview will focus on disease resistance features, present

Foods are processed for a variety of reasons: to render them edible if they are not; to permit storage; to alter texture and flavor; and

Chitin, poly-B-(1→4)-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, is a cellulose-like biopolymer distributed widely in nature, especially in marine invertebrates, insects, fungi, and yeasts. Chitin and its deacetylated form, chitosan, have

Systematic literature searches were conducted to identify all randomized clinical trials (RCTs), systematic reviews, and metaanalyses of dietary supplements for body weight reduction. Data sources
