Evaluating the concentration dependent dual effects of <i>β-Glucan</i> on cancerous skin cells and mitochondria isolated from melanoma-induced animal model
Based on these results, <i>β-Glucan</i> extract at 30, 45, and 60 µg/ml showed a cytotoxic effect, while no such effect was observed at higher concentrations. Overall, it seems that <i>β-Glucan</i> has antioxidant and free radical scavenging effects on cancer cells at higher concentrations.
