コレステロール無添加食において、終体重、体重増加量、飼料効率への豆乳及び発酵豆乳の影響は認められなかった。摂食量において豆乳と発酵豆乳で対照に比べて多い傾向にあるが多重比較すると差が検出されなかった。豆乳と発酵豆乳の血漿トリグリセライドの値は対照と比べて半減した。
総コレステロールに3群間の差はなかったが、HDL-コレステロールは発酵豆乳群で対照群に比べ増加し、(VLDL(超低比重リポタンパク質)+LDL)-コレステロール値は減少した。
動脈硬化指数も発酵豆乳群で対照群と比べて低下した。豆乳群ではHDL-コレステロール、(VLDL+LDL)-コレステロール、動脈硬化指数いずれも対照とも発酵豆乳とも差は認められなかった。
【0027】
コレステロール添加食においては、豆乳及び発酵豆乳群の体重増加量と摂食量及び飼料効率は対照群と比較してそれぞれ増加した。血漿トリグリセライド値は豆乳と発酵豆乳群で対照群の約1/4に減少した。
また、総コレステロールについても豆乳群、発酵豆乳群は対照群と比べて、15%程度減少した。豆乳、発酵豆乳群はHDL-コレステロールの上昇、(VLDL+LDL)-コレステロールの減少が認められ、動脈硬化指数が約半分に減少し、コレステロール無添加の対照群の値に近くなった。
【0028】
以上の結果により、発酵豆乳は、コレステロール添加、無添加にかかわらず、対照に比べ明らかにHDL-コレステロールの上昇と(VLDL+LDL)-コレステロールの減少が認められ、脂質代謝改善効果が確認された。
更に発酵豆乳は、コレステロール無添加において、豆乳に比べ明らかに優れた脂質代謝改善効果を有することが確認された。

嫌気GAM培地にて前培養したヒト由来ビフィドバクテリウム属微生物(10株)を素豆乳(100℃90分滅菌)に1%接種し、37℃、48時間培養した。
培養液1mlに3mlのメタノールを加えて攪拌、4℃で一晩放置したのち、遠心分離(3000rpm、10分間)して上清(4倍希釈液)を得た。これを更にメタノールで希釈し、40倍希釈サンプルを調製した。
【0030】
シリアンハムスター(雄、6週齢)をMF飼料で1週間予備飼育したのち、0.5%コレステロール、及び5%ラードを添加したMF飼料で2週間飼育した。解剖前日に24時間絶食させ、腹部大動脈から採血を行い、EDTA法により血漿を調製した。この血漿から超遠心法によりLDL 画分を採取し、生理的リン酸緩衝液で24時間透析したのち、適当な濃度に希釈して酸化反応用LDL とした。
【0031】
LDL(終濃度250μg/ml protein)はサンプル添加後、5μM CuSO4存在下で37℃、4時間インキュベートして酸化させ、EDTA添加ののち冷却して反応を止め、反応液中のThiobarbituric acid reactive substance(以下、TBARSで示す)を比色法による吸光度測定から求めた。サンプルのかわりにメタノールを添加したものをコントロールとし、計算式(2)にてLDL脂質酸化抑制率(%)を求めた。結果を表7に示す。なお、抗酸化性は、滅菌済素豆乳の値を100としたときの比抑制率として表した。

実施例3
嫌気GAM培地にて前培養したビフィドバクテリウム属微生物(24株)を素豆乳(四国加工機製、100 ℃90分滅菌)に1%接種し、所定時間37℃で好気培養した後、測定まで−20℃で保存した。
上記のとおり調製した発酵豆乳200mgに、後述する方法で調製した人工脂質ミセルを200μlを加えて、37℃で1時間放置後、遠心分離(1000rpm,15分)し、上清のコレステロール濃度をデタミナTC555(協和メディックス)を用いて測定した。コントロールとしては素豆乳を用い、各発酵豆乳の沈殿に移行したコレステロール量をコレステロール不溶化率とした。結果を表8に示す。
【0036】
〔人工脂質ミセルの調製〕
リン酸バッファー(150mM,pH7.0)75mlに、oxgall(DIFCO)2g、コレステロール(和光純薬工業(株)製) 921mg 、リゾフォスファチジルコリン(SIGMA)135mgの順で加えて溶解し、次いでモノオレイン酸(東京化成工業(株)製)90.2mg、オイレン酸(和光純薬工業(株)製) 702.2mg を加え混合し、リン酸バッファーを加えて全量を100mlとした。
溶液を攪拌しながら、室温での超音波処理(SONIFR,スモールチップ)を行った。このエマルジョン及びミセル溶液をしばらく攪拌後100,000×g(RP50-2,40,000rpm)、25℃にて超遠心分離を16〜18時間行った。超遠心分離後、透明なミセル層のみを回収し、人工脂質ミセルを調製した。
【0037】
【表8】
Figure 0004011938
【0038】
以上の結果により、ビフィドバクテリウム属微生物による発酵豆乳はいずれも豆乳に比べミセル不溶化作用が強かった。コレステロールが小腸粘膜から吸収されるにはミセルに溶解していることが必須である。よって発酵豆乳は豆乳よりもコレステロールの吸収を抑制することが示唆された。
【0039】
【発明の効果】
本発明の脂質代謝改善剤は、HDL-コレステロールを増加させる一方、(VLDL+LDL)-コレステロールを減少させるので、動脈硬化症の予防・改善効果が期待できる。特に、コレステロール無添加の条件下では、対照混合物と豆乳には差が認められないのに対し、本発明の脂質代謝改善剤は、有意に(VLDL+LDL)-コレステロールを減少させる効果が認められ、常人においても動脈硬化症の効果的な予防が期待できる。
また、本発明の脂質代謝改善剤は、LDLに対する優れた抗酸化活性を有するので、動脈硬化の発端とされるLDLの酸化変性を効果的に防止することができる。更に、本発明の脂質代謝改善剤は、豆乳にビフィドバクテリウム属微生物を作用させて得られた発酵豆乳からなるので、安全性にも全く問題のない官能的にも優れた脂質代謝改善剤であり、動脈硬化の予防及び治療に有用である。[0001]

【Example】
EXAMPLES Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples.
[0016]
Example 1
Raw soymilk (manufactured by Shikoku Kako, solid content 12.0%, crude fat 2.48%, crude protein 4.71%) is steam-sterilized at 100 ° C for 90 minutes, then inoculated with Bifidobacterium breve YIT4065 (FERM P-15488) (soymilk medium), 30 Incubate for hours. The pH of the bacterial solution after completion of the culture was 4.82, and the titratable acidity was 8.25. The composition of the freeze-dried fermented soymilk obtained by freeze-drying this was almost the same as the composition of the soymilk. As a control, a control mixture was prepared in which the protein of fermented soymilk was replaced with casein, the lipid was replaced with corn oil, and the rest was replaced with sucrose. Using these fermented soymilk, soymilk and a control mixture, a cholesterol-free diet shown in Table 1 and a cholesterol-added diet shown in Table 2 were prepared. In Tables 1 and 2, vitamin mixing and salt mixing are in accordance with AIN-76.

36 male 5-week-old Syrian hamsters (SLC) were used, so that there was no difference in average body weight after preparatory feeding on MF (Oriental Yeast Industry Co., Ltd.) solid food for 4 days and MF powdered food for 4 days. Divided into 6 groups (6 animals per group), they were reared on the above diet in individual bracket cages in an environment of room temperature 24 ± 1 ° C. and humidity 55 ± 5%. Food and water were freely consumed.
The intake was measured every 2 to 3 days, 7 days after the start of the test, after fasting for 4 hours, dissected under Nembutal anesthesia, blood was collected from the abdominal aorta, plasma was separated and lipid was analyzed.
[0020]
Analysis of plasma lipids is total cholesterol, HDL (high density lipoprotein) -cholesterol, and triglyceride clinical test kit (Detamina TC555 / Kyowa Medics Co., Ltd., HDL-Cholesterol Test Wako / Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd. G test Wako / manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.).
The statistical processing was subjected to multiple comparisons by Tukey's test after analysis of variance (or log analysis after log conversion if equal variance was not found). The results are shown in Tables 3 to 6. The value was expressed as an average value and standard deviation (n = 6). The significance level was 0.05.
Values with the same alphabet indicate no significant difference. In Tables 3 and 5, the final body weight indicates the weight before fasting. The arteriosclerosis index was calculated by the calculation formula (1).

[0026]
In the cholesterol-free diet, the effects of soy milk and fermented soy milk on final body weight, weight gain, and feed efficiency were not observed. There was a tendency for soy milk and fermented soy milk to be higher in intake than in the control, but no difference was detected when multiple comparisons were made. Plasma triglyceride values in soymilk and fermented soymilk were halved compared to controls.
Although there was no difference in total cholesterol among the three groups, HDL-cholesterol increased in the fermented soymilk group as compared to the control group, and (VLDL (very low density lipoprotein) + LDL) -cholesterol value decreased.
The arteriosclerosis index also decreased in the fermented soymilk group compared with the control group. In the soy milk group, HDL-cholesterol, (VLDL + LDL) -cholesterol, and arteriosclerosis index were not different from the control and fermented soy milk.
[0027]
In the cholesterol-added diet, the weight gain, food intake, and feed efficiency of the soymilk and fermented soymilk groups increased as compared to the control group. Plasma triglyceride values were reduced to about 1/4 of the control group in the soymilk and fermented soymilk groups.
In addition, total cholesterol decreased about 15% in the soy milk group and the fermented soy milk group as compared with the control group. In the soymilk and fermented soymilk groups, an increase in HDL-cholesterol and a decrease in (VLDL + LDL) -cholesterol were observed, the arteriosclerosis index decreased by about half, and it was close to the value of the control group without addition of cholesterol.

Based on the above results, fermented soymilk clearly showed an increase in HDL-cholesterol and a decrease in (VLDL + LDL) -cholesterol compared to the control, regardless of whether or not cholesterol was added, confirming the effect of improving lipid metabolism.
Furthermore, it was confirmed that fermented soymilk has a lipid metabolism improvement effect that is clearly superior to that of soymilk when no cholesterol is added.

Example 2
Human-derived Bifidobacterium microorganisms (10 strains) pre-cultured in an anaerobic GAM medium were inoculated into 1% of soy milk (sterilized at 100 ° C. for 90 minutes) and cultured at 37 ° C. for 48 hours.
3 ml of methanol was added to 1 ml of the culture solution, stirred and allowed to stand overnight at 4 ° C., and then centrifuged (3000 rpm, 10 minutes) to obtain a supernatant (4-fold diluted solution). This was further diluted with methanol to prepare a 40-fold diluted sample.

Syrian hamsters (male, 6 weeks old) were bred for 1 week on MF diet and then MF diet supplemented with 0.5% cholesterol and 5% lard for 2 weeks. The day before dissection, the animals were fasted for 24 hours, blood was collected from the abdominal aorta, and plasma was prepared by the EDTA method. The LDL fraction was collected from this plasma by ultracentrifugation, dialyzed with physiological phosphate buffer for 24 hours, and diluted to an appropriate concentration to prepare LDL for oxidation reaction.
[0031]
LDL (final concentration 250 μg / ml protein) is oxidized after incubation by incubating for 4 hours at 37 ° C. in the presence of 5 μM CuSO 4. After adding EDTA, the reaction is stopped by cooling, and the thiobarbituric acid reactive substance in the reaction solution (Hereinafter referred to as TBARS) was determined from absorbance measurement by a colorimetric method. LDL lipid oxidation inhibition rate (%) was determined by the calculation formula (2) using a sample in which methanol was added instead of the sample. The results are shown in Table 7. The antioxidant property was expressed as a ratio inhibition rate when the value of the sterilized raw soymilk was 100.

Based on the above results, fermented soymilk by Bifidobacterium microorganisms has LDL antioxidant activity, and excellent LDL antioxidant activity was recognized even compared with soymilk.

Example 3
Bifidobacterium microorganisms (24 strains) pre-cultured in anaerobic GAM medium are inoculated into 1% of soy milk (manufactured by Shikoku Processing Machine, sterilized at 100 ° C for 90 minutes), and after aerobic culture at 37 ° C for a predetermined time Until -20 ° C.
Add 200 μl of artificial lipid micelle prepared by the method described below to fermented soymilk prepared as described above, leave it at 37 ° C. for 1 hour, centrifuge (1000 rpm, 15 minutes), and determine the cholesterol concentration in the supernatant Measured using TC555 (Kyowa Medics). As a control, soy milk was used, and the amount of cholesterol transferred to the precipitation of each fermented soy milk was defined as the cholesterol insolubilization rate. The results are shown in Table 8.
[0036]
(Preparation of artificial lipid micelle)
In 75 ml of phosphate buffer (150 mM, pH 7.0), oxgall (DIFCO) 2 g, cholesterol (manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) 921 mg and lysophosphatidylcholine (SIGMA) 135 mg were added and dissolved in this order. Monooleic acid (manufactured by Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.) 90.2 mg and oleic acid (manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) 702.2 mg were added and mixed, and phosphate buffer was added to make the total volume 100 ml.
While stirring the solution, sonication at room temperature (SONIFR, small chip) was performed. The emulsion and micelle solution were stirred for a while and then centrifuged at 100,000 × g (RP50-2,40,000 rpm) at 25 ° C. for 16 to 18 hours. After ultracentrifugation, only the transparent micelle layer was collected to prepare artificial lipid micelles.
[0037]
[Table 8]
Figure 0004011938
[0038]
Based on the above results, fermented soymilk by Bifidobacterium microorganisms had a stronger micellar insolubility than soymilk. In order for cholesterol to be absorbed from the small intestinal mucosa, it must be dissolved in micelles. Therefore, it was suggested that fermented soymilk suppresses cholesterol absorption more than soymilk.

【The invention's effect】
Since the lipid metabolism improving agent of the present invention increases HDL-cholesterol and decreases (VLDL + LDL) -cholesterol, an effect of preventing or improving arteriosclerosis can be expected. In particular, there is no difference between the control mixture and soy milk under the condition where no cholesterol is added, whereas the lipid metabolism-improving agent of the present invention has a significant effect of reducing (VLDL + LDL) -cholesterol. Can be expected to effectively prevent arteriosclerosis.
Moreover, since the lipid metabolism improving agent of the present invention has excellent antioxidant activity against LDL, it can effectively prevent oxidative degeneration of LDL, which is the origin of arteriosclerosis. Furthermore, since the lipid metabolism improving agent of the present invention comprises fermented soy milk obtained by allowing Bifidobacterium microorganisms to act on soy milk, the lipid metabolism improving agent is also excellent in terms of functionality without any safety problems. It is useful for the prevention and treatment of arteriosclerosis.
