This study aimed to investigate the physiological characteristics and anti-obesity effects of Lactobacillus plantarum K10. The ${\alpha}-amylase$ inhibitory activity, ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ inhibitory activity, and lipase inhibitory activity of L. plantarum K10 was $94.66{\pm}4.34%$, $99.78{\pm}0.12%$, and $87.40{\pm}1.41%$, respectively. Moreover, the strain inhibited the adipocyte differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells ($32.61{\pm}8.32%$) at a concentration of $100{\mu}g/mL$. In order to determine its potential for use as a probiotic, we investigated the physiological characteristics of L. plantarum K10. L. plantarum K10 was resistant to gentamycin, kanamycin, streptomycin, ampicillin, ciprofloxacin, tetracycline, vancomycin, and chloramphenicol. It also showed higher Leucine arylamidase, Valine arylamidase, and ${\beta}-galactosidase$ activities. Moreover, it was comparatively tolerant to bile juice and acid, exhibiting resistance to Escherichia coli, Salmonella Typhimurium, Listeria monocytogenes, and Staphylococcus aureus with rates of 90.71%, 11.86%, 14.19%, and 23.08%, respectively. The strain did not produce biogenic amines and showed higher adhesion to HT-29 cells compared to L. rhamnosus GG. As a result of the animal study, L. plantarum K10 showed significantly lower body weight compared to the high-fat diet group. The administration of L. plantarum K10 resulted in a reduction of subcutaneous fat mass and mesenteric fat mass compared to the high-fat diet (HFD) group. L. plantarum K10 also showed improvement in gut permeability compared to the HFD positive control group. These results demonstrate that L. plantarum K10 has potential as a probiotic with anti-obesity effects.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Abeliophyllum distichum is a plant endemic to Korea, containing several beneficial natural compounds. This study investigated the effect of A. distichum leaf extract (ALE) on adipocyte differentiation. MATERIALS/METHODS: The cytotoxic effect of ALE was analyzed using cell viability assay. 3T3-L1 preadipocytes were differentiated using induction media in the presence or absence of ALE. Lipid accumulation was confirmed using Oil Red O staining. The mRNA expression of adipogenic markers was measured using RT-PCR, and the protein expressions of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR𝛾) were measured using western blot. Cell proliferation was measured by calculating the incorporation of Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) into DNA. RESULTS: ALE reduced lipid accumulation in differentiated adipocytes, as indicated by Oil Red O staining and triglyceride assays. Treatment with ALE decreased the gene expression of adipogenic markers such as Ppar𝛾, CCAAT/enhancer binding protein alpha (C/ebp𝛼), lipoprotein lipase, adipocyte protein-2, acetyl-CoA carboxylase, and fatty acid synthase. Also, the protein expression of PPAR𝛄 was reduced by ALE. Treating the cells with ALE at different time points revealed that the inhibitory effect of ALE on adipogenesis is higher in the early period treatment than in the terminal period. Furthermore, ALE inhibited adipocyte differentiation by reducing the early phase of adipogenesis and mitotic clonal expansion. This was indicated by the lower number of cells in the Synthesis phase of the cell cycle (labeled using BrdU assay) and a decrease in the expression of early adipogenic transcription factors such as C/ebp𝛽 and C/ebp𝛿. ALE suppressed the phosphorylation of MAPK, confirming that the effect of ALE was through the suppression of early phase of adipogenesis. CONCLUSIONS: Altogether, the results of the present study revealed that ALE inhibits lipid accumulation and may be a potential agent for managing obesity.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of Lactobacillus plantarum FH185 on the reduction of adipocyte size and gut microbial changes in mice with diet-induced obesity. The strain was found to have a lipase inhibitory activity of 70.09±2.04% and inhibited adipocyte differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells (18.63±0.98%) at a concentration of 100 µg/mL. To examine the effect of the strain supplementation on gut microbial changes in mice with diet-induced obesity, male C57BL/6J mice were fed on four different diets (i.e., A, normal diet (ND); B, high-fat diet (HFD); C, HFD with ABT-3 (10⁹ CFU/day); and D, HFD with L. plantarum FH185 (10⁹ CFU/day)) for 6 wk. According to the results of fecal pyrosequencing, the ratio of Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes in groups C and D was lower than in the control groups at the phylum level. At the family level, Lactobacillaceae in groups C and D was observed to dominate, while Lachnospiraceae in groups A and B was observed to dominate. At the genus level, Lactobacillus in groups C and D was comparatively higher than in groups A and B. To examine the effects of strain supplementation on the reduction of adipocyte size, the left and right epididymal fat pads were quickly isolated after the animals were sacrificed, and the adipocyte sizes were measured. In groups A, C and D, the percentage of 2,000 m² of adipocyte was higher than in the other size of adipocyte, while the percentage of over 5,000 m² of adipocyte was highest in group B. The mean adipocyte size of group D was significantly larger than that of group A, but smaller than that of group B.

메밀(날 메밀, 볶은 메밀, 찐 메밀)에서 추출, 분리한 crude hemicellulose, alcohol-insoluble hemicellulose, residue 및 고분자 가용성 다당류(분자량 10 KDa 이상)와 저분자 가용성 다당류(분자량 10 KDa 이하)가 in vitro에서 췌장의 소화효소 활성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 다당류-효소액을 $37^{\circ}C$에서 5분간 반응시킨 후 다당류를 제거하고 여액의 소화효소 활성을 측정함으로써 다당류가 소화효소의 활성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 메밀의 crude hemicellulose, alcohol-in-soluble hemicellulose, residue는 ${\alpha}-amylase$ 활성을 저하시켰으며, 고분자 수용성 다당류와 저분자 수용성 다당류는 ${\alpha}-amylase$ 활성을 저해하지 않았다. 또한, 저분자 수용성다당류를 제외한 모든 다당류는 lipase의 활성을 감소시켰다. Crude hemicellulose, alcohol-insoluble hemicellulose, residue와 고분자 수용성 다당류는 trypsin과 chymotrypsin 활성을 현저히 저하시켰으나 저분자 수용성 다당류는 이들의 활성을 약간 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다.

The enzymology of an activated sludge system for a petroleum wastewater purification process was investigated. Leucine-aminopeptidase (L-AMP), ${\beta}$-glucosidase (${\beta}-GLC$), and lipase (LIP) were selected for the study. It was found that more than 81.7% of enzymatic activity was associated with microbial cells in the activated sludge floc. The metabolic response of a mixed microbial population to increased phenol concentration showed that L-AMP activity increased in the activated sludge, whereas activities of ${\beta}-GLC$ and LIP decreased, due to the inhibitory effect of the phenol which varied from 100 mg/l to 500 mg/l.

Lactic acid bacteria are representative probiotics that have beneficial effects on humans. Nineteen strains among the 167 single strains from kimchi was selected and their physiological features were investigated. The selection of a strain was based on strong enzyme (lipase, α-amylase, and α-glucosidase) inhibitory activities and anti-obesity effects in the adipocytes. For the final selection, the strain Lactiplantibacillus plantarum KC3 was tested for its potential as a starter. To assess its functionality, a freeze-dried culture of L. plantarum KC3 was administered to a diet-induced obese mouse model receiving a high-fat diet. The animal group administered with L. plantarum KC3 showed significant body weight loss during the 12-week feeding period compared to the high-fat control group. This study investigated the physiological characteristics of selected strain and evaluated its potential as an anti-obesity probiotic in mice.

미역(Undaria pinnatifada)은 낮은 칼로리 및 요오드의 원료로써 천연체중조절식품으로 알려져 있다. 미역이 체중조절식품으로 알려져 있음에도 불구하고, 지방세포 분화 및 지방축적에 관한 저해 기작은 연구가 미비하다. 본 연구에서는 3T3-L1에서 지방세포로 분화가 일어나는 단계에서 미역에탄올추출물의 효과 및 기작을 확인하였다. 미역에탄올추출물의 독성과 지방축적저해효과는 MTT assay, Oil red O staining, RT-PCR과 western blot으로 분석하였다. 미역에탄올추출물은 50 ${\mu}g/ml$의 농도에서 독성을 띄지 않았다. 3T3-L1의 분화 및 지방세포에서 triglyceride축적과정동안 50 ${\mu}g/ml$의 미역에탄올추출물을 처리하였으며, 미역에탄올추출물은 지방세포에서 triglyceride의 축적을 40% 감소시켰다. 지방세포 특이적 단백질인 Peroxisome proliferator activated receptor ${\gamma}$ ($PPAR{\gamma}$), leptin과 Hormone sensitive lipase (HSL)의 발현은 RT-PCR과 western blot으로 확인하였다. $PPAR{\gamma}$의 과발현은 지방세포의 분화를 촉진시킨다. 또한 지방세포 크기의 증가와 세포 내 triglyceride의 함량에 따라 leptin은 세포 외로 분비된다. 그러므로 $PPAR{\gamma}$와 leptin은 비만의 지표로 사용된다. 첨가한 미역에탄올추출물의 농도가 높아질수록 $PPAR{\gamma}$와 leptin의 발현이 억제되었다. 이상의 결과를 통하여, 미역의 에탄올 추출물은 지방전구세포의 분화를 억제시키며, 지방세포 내 triglyceride의 축적을 저해하는 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 초음파를 이용하여 농업 부산물인 피땅콩 겉껍질의 추출 조건을 최적화하고 추출물의 항산화능과 항비만 기능성을 측정하였다. 실험설계는 CCD를 이용하였고 독립 변수인 추출 시간, 추출 온도, 에탄올 농도에 따라 TPC, TFC와 RSA를 종속 변수로 설정하여 이들의 값을 최대로 하는 공통 조건을 예측하였다. 각각의 모델식의 R2값은 0.85 이상으로 적합하였으며, 추출 조건으로 추출 온도와 에탄올 농도가 TPC 및 TFC에 유의적인 영향을 주는 것을 알 수 있었다. 반면 RSA는 에탄올 농도에 영향을 많이 받는데, 에탄올 농도가 높을수록 RSA가 높아지다가 최고점을 보인 후 다시 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 최적 추출 조건인 추출 시간 35.8분, 추출 온도 82.7℃와 에탄올 96.0%에서 제조한 추출물의 TPC, TFC와 RSA의 실측치는 예측치와 유사한 값을 나타내어 회귀 방정식이 신뢰할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 추출물의 항비만 기능성 평가를 위한 GIA와 LIA 실험 결과는 각각 86.4%와 78.5%로 열수 추출물보다 높게 나타나 초음파 추출에 의한 생리활성 물질 추출이 효과적임을 알 수 있었다. 이로써 농업 부산물인 피땅콩 겉껍질로부터 고부가가치 생리활성 물질 생산 가능성을 확인하였고 식품, 화장품 및 의약품용 항산화와 항비만 기능성 소재 생산에 있어 원료 공급비용 절감과 효율적인 추출 공정 확보로 산업 전반에서 가격 경쟁력 확보와 환경문제 해결에 기여할 것으로 사료된다.
