topicBeta Glucan Gut Health Randomized Trial
claimBy interacting with innate pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), including Dectin-1 and Toll-like receptors (TLRs), expressed on gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) and immune cells, β-1,3-glucans regulate both innate and adaptive immune responses [,].

topicBeta Glucan Gut Health Randomized Trial
claimAlthough multiple receptor systems are involved, the overall framework is conserved and relies on the detection of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) by PRR families, including Dectin-1, TLRs, complement receptor 3 (CR3), lactosylceramide (LacCer), and scavenger receptors (SRs).
