The purpose of this study was to discover the effects of soybean β-conglycinin (7S-globulin) and glycinin (11S-globulin) on serum lipid levels and metabolism in the livers of normal and genetically obese mice. Male normal (ICR) and obese (KK-Ay) mice were fed ad libitum high fat diets for two weeks, followed by a 2-week restriction of diet (2 g diet/mouse/day) containing 20% casein, soybean β-conglycinin, or soybean glycinin, and then sacrificed immediately. Serum triglyceride (TG), glucose, and insulin levels of β-conglycinin-fed mice were lower than in casein- and glycinin-fed mice of both strains. In order to analyze the related events to these effects, enzyme activities and relative mRNA levels of lipid metabolism-related proteins were measured. The activities of two enzymes related to fatty acid β-oxidation were higher while that of fatty acid synthase was lower in livers of β-conglycinin-fed mice than of casein-fed both mice. Messenger RNA levels of acyl-CoA oxidase (fatty acid β-oxidation related enzyme) were significantly higher in livers of β-conglycinin-fed mice than of both casein-fed mice. On the contrary, mRNA levels of SREBP-1 and 2 tended to be lowered in livers of soy protein-fed mice than of both casein-fed mice. Fecal excretion of TG was higher in β-conglycinin-fed mice than in casein-fed mice. Our results demonstrated that the soy β-conglycinin diet reduced serum TG levels by acceleration of β-oxidation, suppression of fatty acid synthase and/or increased TG fecal excretion, and also diminished serum glucose and insulin levels. Some of these events might be caused at the transcriptional levels, judged from the result that relative messenger RNA levels of lipid metabolism-related proteins were altered. These results suggest that soy β-conglycinin could be a potentially useful dietary protein source for the prevention of hypertriglyceridemia, hyperinsulinemia, and hyperglycemia, which are recognized as risk factors for atherosclerosis.
