Pueraria lobata roots and Glycine max (L.) Merrill are rich in isoflavones, which phytoestrogens known to alleviate menopausal some disease symptoms. However, the high molecular weight poor bioavailability of owing glucose moieties attached these glycosides, limit their practical use. Fermentation with lactic acid bacteria has been reported convert glycosides into aglycone forms. In this study, we investigated health-promoting effects fermented P. root extract (FPE) G. (FGE) using ovariectomized mice. The was bacteria. Lactiplantibacillus plantarum strains that aglycones were selected, vitro vivo experiments conducted confirm various functionalities resulting from fermentation. FPE FGE exhibited estrogen-like activities. particular, fermentation increased expression estrogen receptor beta (ERβ), as a result extracts should probably not be associated increasing incidence female cancers—a common side effect hormone replacement therapy. addition, oral administration FPE, FGE, or mixture two (FPE-FGE) mice improved depressive symptoms by upregulating hippocampal brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). ERβ highest FPE-FGE group. These results indicate can used raw material for development dietary supplements women because it increases alleviates depressive-like behavior through regulation BDNF neurotransmitters.
