N-acetylglucosamine and immune system
N-acetylglucosamine may have an influence on autoimmune conditions. Dr. Michael Demetriou and colleagues at the University of California at Irvine found that N-acetylglucosamine, when given to mice,inhibited the growth and function of abnormal T-cells that incorrectly direct the immune system to attack specific tissues in the body, such as brain myelin in MS and insulin-producing cells of the pancreas in diabetes. Whether the same benefits would occur in humans is not clear at this time.
