Outline of Final Research Achievements |
PS-B1 is a fermented product cultivated from soybean milk using indigenous lactic acid bacteria. In this study, we obtained results showing that PS-B1 improved lipid metabolism by inhibiting lipid metabolism-related genes in mouse 3T3-L1 cells and rat hepatocytes. DNA microarray analysis suggested that PS-B1 controls the expression of 39 genes and has an effect on 69 metabolic pathways in hepatocytes in C57BL/6J mice, with 14 of these 69 pathways being strongly influenced by PS-B1.
