Abstract
The role of beta glucan in stimulating of various biological reactions is getting more and more attention. In this report, we focused on the effects of oral supplementation with beta glucan and vitamin D on changes in serum levels of orosomucoids in patients with diabetic retinopathy. We measured the level of orosomucoids and evaluated the effects of oral supplementation. In this study we report significant decrease of orosomucoids levels after the end of the three-month treatment. Our results support the fact that continual supplementation with glucan is necessary for diabetes melitus and diabetic retinopathy patients.
