An open-label dosing study to evaluate the safety and effects of a dietary plant-derived polysaccharide supplement on the N-glycosylation status of serum glycoproteins in healthy subjects.

Given that glycosylation is a key post-translational modification that can significantly affect the overall biophysical and biochemical functions of proteins ( Alavi and Axford, 2008 ; Biol-N′garagba and Louisot, 2003 ), the observed shift in the N- glycosylation status of serum glycoproteins in response to AA supplementation may be significant and could reflect changes in one or more physiological parameters.
