| Research Abstract |
The incidence of hyperlipidemia has increased in recent years. It has been suggested that soymilk can prevent hyperlipidemia. We confirmed that fermented soymilk has lipid metabolism-modulating effects whereby it promotes cholesterol catabolism-related gene expression. Thus, we investigated the lipid metabolism-modulating factor in lactic acid-fermented soymilk.
Isoflavone in fermented soymilk converted from glycone to aglycone by lactic acid fermentation appears to promote intestinal absorption. Thus, it is suggested that fermented soymilk containing a high ratio of isoflavone aglycone may promote lipid metabolism-modulating effects and the gene expression of Cyp7a1.
