Abstract The anti-obesity effects of mixed fermented extracts from lactic acid bacteria and Inonotus obliquus were investigated
using differentiation of 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes to adipocytes as a read out. Adipocyte differentiation was assessed on
the basis of lipid accumulation (measured with Oil Red O assay) and RT-PCR analysis. Compared to the control,
treatment of differentiating adipocytes with an extract from Lactobacillus lactis, Lactobacillus fermentum, and I.
obliquus significantly inhibited differentiation (by 35–50%), as assessed by measuring fat accumulation. In the
presence of an adipogenic cocktail (isobutylmethylxanthine, dexamethasone, and insulin), an extract from L.
fermentum and I. obliquus significantly decreased the expression of the obesity-related genes, peroxisome proliferator –activated receptor-¥ã (PPAR¥ã) and adipocyte fatty acid–binding protein (aP2), relative to the expression level of
NAC (negative control). These results indicate that the fermented extract from Lac. fermentum and I. obliquusis the
most plausible candidate for preventing obesity.
