Dietary Bßglucans inhibit mitochondrial superoxide production, ADAM17, TNFα, nSMase2 and STING gene expression in circulating leukocytes from healthy adults. Box plot analyses of changes in baseline superoxide production (a), ADAM17 (b), TNFα (c), nSMase2 (d) and STING (e) mRNA levels (each shape represents one individual) in peripheral blood monocytes from 5 healthy adults ingesting 3 g of Bßglucans daily, as slices of barley bread, during 4 weeks. *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01 vs. Baseline, #p < 0.05 vs. 1week. Correlation between leukocyte STING mRNA and serum γ-interferon levels (f) and between leukocyte STING and nSMase2 mRNA levels (g). Each shape represent baseline (●), one week (■) and 4 weeks (▲) values.
