Fujicco to Announce Research Findings of Black Soybean at Academic Conference.Tokyo, Japan, May 12, 2006 - (JCN JCN Japan Corporate News JCN Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience JCN Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing JCN Journal of Christian Nursing JCN Job Control Number JCN Journal of Child Neurology JCN joint communications network (US DoD) ) - Fujicco, one of Japan's leading processed food manufacturers, will make a presentation on black soybean at the 60th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Nutrition and Food Science to be held in Shizuoka from May 18 to 20. Until now, the company has proceeded with research on black soybean in collaboration with the University of Shizuoka The University of Shizuoka (静岡県立大学; Shizuoka Kenritsu Daigaku, abbreviated to 静岡県立大 Shizuokakenritsudai) is a public university in Shizuoka, Japan. . In the previous experiments using menopausal-model rats, the two partners confirmed that cyanidin-3-glucoside, a kind of anthocyanins, and a soybean isoflavone i·so·fla·vone n. A flavonoid found in soy. isoflavone 3-phenyl-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one; many of the naturally occurring estrogenic substances in pasture plants are isoflavones. daidzein suppress the abdominal adiposity adiposity /ad·i·pos·i·ty/ (ad?i-pos´i-te) obesity. cerebral adiposity fatness due to cerebral disease, especially of the hypothalamus. adiposity obesity. . The two partners have newly elucidated that cyanidin-3-glucoside and equol, a metabolite of daidzein, inhibit the accumulation of abdominal fat and leptin Leptin A protein hormone that affects feeding behavior and hunger in humans. At present it is thought that obesity in humans may result in part from insensitivity to leptin. secretion in menopausal-model rats. Further, in experiments using dietary-obese male rats, they confirmed that an extract of black soybean, which contains cyanidin-3-glucoside, suppresses the accumulation of abdominal fat and fatty liver formation, as well as promotes cholesterol excretion. Accordingly, the two partners have concluded that an ingestion of black soybean is effective against not only menopausal obesity but also visceral obesity.
