The MTT assay revealed that LMW beta-glucan from oat in concentration
50 and 100 g/ml increased macrophages viability after
24 and 48 h. Higher concentrations caused a slight decrease in
macrophages viability (Figs. 2 and 3). These results were confirmed
by cloning efficacy test taken after 5 days incubation with LMW
beta-glucan from oat (Fig. 4). The previous studies showed that
