- Botryosphaeran, a specific type of β-d-glucan, shows beneficial properties like reducing tumor growth, managing blood sugar levels, and fighting oxidative stress and inflammation.
- In a study, different groups of rats (both non-obese and obese) were inoculated with tumor cells and treated with botryosphaeran to observe its effects on various biological markers after 15 days.
- Results indicated that botryosphaeran reduced oxidative stress and inflammation in obese rats and improved antioxidant levels and metabolic health, showcasing its potential as a treatment for tumors.
