Mushroom and cereal β-D-glucan solid state NMR and FTIR datasets.

In the associated published article Kremmyda et al. (2021), the C1 region of the NMR spectra were examined in detail, as the C1 carbon was common to the crucial linkages in the glucan, and the most clearly separated region in the spectra. We provide the original measurement data here in topspin format, in order that different authors can examine the regions corresponding to the other carbons and in addition repeat our processing of the FID's using different parameters.

The detection, purity and structural properties of partially soluble mushroom and cereal β-D-glucans: A solid-state NMR study.

β-D-glucans are proposed to have many health benefits. It is therefore important to have methods which can distinguish these from other carbohydrates present in natural products, as well as giving glucan content and structural information. Correlations between features in the CP/MAS spectra of β-D-glucans and enzyme assay determined β-D-glucan content were generally found to be poor.

Manufacture of Reduced Fat White-Brined Cheese with the Addition of β-Glucans Biobased Polysaccharides as Textural Properties Improvements.

β-Glucan, isolated from the mushroom , at a concentration of 0.4%, was used in the manufacture of reduced-fat white-brined cheese from sheep milk. Control reduced-fat cheese was also produced from the same milk without the addition of β-glucan.

A review of eGFR reporting after 6 months in practice.

Background: Following the introduction of routine calculation of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) from all serum creatinine values in samples received from general practice it was noted that there was a preponderance of values consistent with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3 or higher.

Methods: A review was conducted of all eGFR values from 51 314 individuals received from primary care during October 2006 to April 2007.

Results: It was found that more than 25% of eGFR results indicated CKD stage 3 or higher.

Serum levels of E-selectin, ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 in colorectal cancer patients: correlations with clinicopathological features, patient survival and tumour surgery.

The serum concentrations of the cell adhesion molecules E-selectin, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) were investigated in 63 patients with colorectal cancer and in 51 controls by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Their relationship to clinicopathological variables and patient survival and changes in their levels after surgery were examined. Colorectal cancer patients showed significantly higher serum levels of E-selectin, ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 compared with healthy controls.
