The present study was carried out to investigate the antiobesity and hypocholesterolemic effects of Bifidobacteria animalis DY-64 (B. animalis DY-64), a lactic acid bacterium isolated from the human intestine, in rats fed a high-fat/high-cholesterol diet for 4 weeks. Forty male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups and fed either a normal (N) or high-fat/high-cholesterol (HFC) diet without or with oral administration of B. animalis DY-64 (N-BA, HFC-BA). The gain in body weight, and liver and adipose tissue weights of the HFC group were heavier than that of the HFC-BA group. Serum total cholesterol (TC), LDL-cholesterol, and leptin levels of the HFC group, which were significantly elevated compared to those of the N group, dropped by 19, 18, 21, and 13% in the HFC-BA group, respectively, whereas the serum HDL-cholesterol level markedly increased. However, serum TG, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, and leptin levels were not significantly different among the N groups (N, N-BA) with or without B. animalis DY-64 administration. TC and TG levels of the liver as well as the TG level of the adipose tissue were significantly reduced in the HFC-BA group. In addition, HR-LPL activity in adipose tissue was also lower in the HFC-BA group than in the HFC group. These results suggest that B. animalis DY-64 isolated from the human intestine exerts hypocholesterolemic effects by reducing serum and liver cholesterol levels and plays a role in the prevention of obesity induced by HFC diet.

김치의 기능성 향상을 위해 내산소성의 Bifidobacterium animalis DY-64와 올리고과당을 첨가한 김치를 제조하고 발효과정동안 이화학적, 미생물학적 특성에 대해 조사하였다. $4^{\circ}C$, 30일간의 김치 발효과정 중 비피도박테리아는 1 log cycle이 감소되었으며 올리고과당을 함께 첨가한 군에서는 비피도박테리아의 생존률이 높게 유지되었다. 또한 Lactobacillus spp.와 Leuconostoc spp.의 생육 및 생존률이 더욱 증가되었다. 발효과정동안 비피도박테리아와 올리고과당 첨가 김치는 유기산(젖산과 초산)의 생성이 대조군보다 유의적으로 높았다. 올리고과당 김치는 일반 김치보다 신내, 신맛, 아삭아삭함이 더 높았다. 이러한 결과로 비피도박테리아 김치 제조시 시판 올리고과당을 첨가하면 비피도박테리아의 생존성을 증가시키며 장내에서는 prebiotics로서 이용되어 김치의 기능성을 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
