Citrus pectin affects cytokine production by human peripheral blood mononuclear cells

Biomedical Biopolymers, their Origin and Evolution in Biomedical Sciences: A Systematic Review

“…Pectin is presently being considered as a career material in colon specific drug delivery system [84].…”

“…Pectins are nowadays under enthusiastic investigation in the biomaterial field as novel candidates for soft and hard tissue engineering and dental titanium coating as it promotes invitro immunological responses [84].…”

Plant Products for Innovative Biomaterials in Dentistry

“…Pectin fragments formed by enzymatic treatments consist of modified hairy regions (MHR), which may be used in the coating of biomedical devices, according to their chemical, physical and biological properties. In particular, MHR fragments can be considered as nanocoatings forming a 6-10 nm thick layer covalently linked onto varies surfaces [33][34][35][36]. [37,38].…”

“…Thus, pectins are nowadays under enthusiastic investigation in the biomaterial field as novel candidates for soft and hard tissue engineering and dental titanium coating [32,33,35,36,44]. Promising in vitro and in vivo results indicate the possibility of using enzymatically modified apple pectin fragments as dental implant nano-coatings [13,45].…”

Application of Enterosorbents in Clinical Practice

“…Препараты, содержащие пектин, эффективны в лечении кишечной недостаточности, гастроэзофагеаль-ной рефлюксной болезни [25][26][27]. Определен дозозави-симый иммуномодулирующий эффект пектина, который проявляется в угнетении выработки провоспалительных цитокинов [28].…”
