Objectives: This study was performed to evaluate the effects of fermented Samjung-hwan (SJH) extracts on weight, serum lipids and blood glucose.
Methods: SJH was fermented using three different probiotic bacterial strains (Lactobacillus plantarum [LP], Leuconostoc mesenteroides [LM], Bifidobacterium longum [BL]) separately. Thirty-six rats were divided into normal, control (high fat diet), SJH-UF (high fat diet+unfermented SJH 200 mg/kg), SJH-LP (high fat diet+LP fermented SJH 200 mg/kg), SJH-LM (high fat diet+LM fermented SJH 200 mg/kg) and SJH-BL (high fat diet+BL fermented SJH 200 mg/kg). For 8 weeks later, we examined body weight, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol and blood glucose.
Results: The control group showed significantly increased weight gain compared with normal group and SJH-LP and BL groups had less weight gain than control group, significantly. In the lipid serum tests, control group showed significantly increased total cholesterol levels compared with normal group and only SJH-LP represented decreased total cholesterol levels compared with control group. However there was no significant change in the HDL-cholesteol levels. In the blood glucose tests, that of control group significantly incereased more than that of normal group, SJH-BL showed significantly decreased blood glucose levels compared with control group.
Conclusions: SJH-LP, SJH-BL showed weight control effect, SJH-LP decreased TC and SJH-BL reduced blood glucose.
