Dextran is a complex branched glucan (polysaccharide derived from the condensation of glucose), originally derived from wine. IUPAC defines dextrans as "Branched poly-α-d-glucosides of microbial origin having glycosidic bonds predominantly C-1 → C-6".[1] Dextran chains are of varying lengths (...
High-molecular weight dextran is a plasma volume expander made from natural sources of sugar (glucose). It works by restoring blood plasma lost through severe bleeding. Severe blood loss can decrease oxygen levels and can lead to organ failure, brain damage, coma, and possibly death. Plasma is...
Furthermore, there is an accepted belief that the conformational stability of globular proteins increases in the presence crowding agents due to the excluded volume effects. The goal of this study was to conduct a systematic analysis of the effect of high concentrations of PEG-8000 and Dextran-70...
Continual mucus secretion is a key factor in determining the structure and function of the mucus barrier. The mucus barrier is not a static physical barrier, with the inner mucus layer in murine distal colonic tissue found to be renewed every 1–2 hours4. It has been estimated that mucus gr...

Glucansucrases from family 70 of glycoside-hydrolases catalyse the synthesis of α-glucans with various types of osidic linkages from sucrose. Among these enzymes, alternansucrase (ASR) and dextransucrase E (DSR-E) catalyse the formation of unusual α-glucans. ASR catalyses the synthesis of ...
Glucansucrases from family 70 of glycoside-hydrolases catalyse the synthesis of ±-glucans with various types of osidic linkages from sucrose. Among these enzymes, alternansucrase (ASR) and dextransucrase E (DSR-E) catalyse the formation of unusual ±-glucans. ASR catalyses the synthesis of ...
compounds from passing, unless being lipophilic, or coming from systemic absorption or via the nasal route (nose-to-brain), not intranasal, across the olfactory mucosa [128], with the recommended use of cell penetration peptides onto the NPs as dextran nano-micelles or bio-muco-adhesive nano-...
Biopolymers, including polysaccharides such as xanthan gum, chitin, pullulan, hyaluronic acid, carrageenan, glucans, guar gum, cellulose, and dextran, are renewable resources derived from plants, seaweeds, animals, and bacterial fermentation [1]. These polymers have a diversity of chemical structures ...
4.1. Effect of Amino Acid Supplementation on Intestinal Inflammation Resolution In the rat model of colitis treated with Dextran Sodium Sulfate (DSS), supplementations with threonine, serine, proline, and cysteine or with threonine and cysteine only, promote mucin synthesis and increased mucin ...
