Abstract
Probiotics and their cellular constituents are pivotal in modulating lipid metabolism in adipocytes, potentially offering novel approaches to obesity prevention. This study investigates the probiotic characteristics and anti-adipogenic effects of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains isolated from kimchi. Twenty LAB strains, identified as Latilactobacillus sakei, Latilactobacillus curvatus, and Leuconostoc mesenteroides, were evaluated for lipase inhibitory activity. Among them, L. sakei CKC1 and L. curvatus CK17 exhibited the strongest inhibition and were selected for further study. Notably, L. curvatus CK17 significantly reduced lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and downregulated key adipogenic markers, including PPARγ, C/EBPα, aP2, SREBP1c, ACC, and FAS (p < 0.05). Additionally, CK17 survived simulated digestive conditions, adhered effectively to Caco-2 cells, and exhibited antibacterial activity. These findings suggest that L. curvatus CK17 as a promising probiotic candidate for obesity prevention, with potent anti-adipogenic properties.
期刊介绍:
The FSB journal covers food chemistry and analysis for compositional and physiological activity changes, food hygiene and toxicology, food microbiology and biotechnology, and food engineering involved in during and after food processing through physical, chemical, and biological ways. Consumer perception and sensory evaluation on processed foods are accepted only when they are relevant to the laboratory research work. As a general rule, manuscripts dealing with analysis and efficacy of extracts from natural resources prior to the processing or without any related food processing may not be considered within the scope of the journal. The FSB journal does not deal with only local interest and a lack of significant scientific merit. The main scope of our journal is seeking for human health and wellness through constructive works and new findings in food science and biotechnology field.
