We investigated anti-diabetic candidates and their mechanisms from the fractions of Chungkookjang (CKJ), a traditional fermented unsalted soybean, by investigating insulin signaling, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-gamma activity and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, in vitro. Cooked soybeans (CSB) and CKJ, fermented predominantly with Bacillus subtilis, were extracted by 70% EtOH followed by an XAD-4 column chromatography with a serial mixture of solvents comprised of MeOH and water. During fermentation, the contents of isoflavonoid aglycones were elevated, and the fractions enriched with aglycones enhanced insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. This increase in glucose uptake resulted from stimulating a translocation of the glucose transporter (GLUT)-4 into the plasma membrane through the phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1 and Akt. Especially, daidzein enriched fractions elevated insulin-stimulated glucose uptake by acting as PPAR-gamma agonist up to levels exhibited when 10 nM insulin is administered. Fractions containing small peptides with low polarity in CKJ slightly increased glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. The data suggest that an increase in isoflavonoid aglycones in CKJ, in comparison to CSB, enhances glucose utilization via activating insulin signaling and stimulates PPAR-gamma activity in adipocytes. In addition, CKJ contains small peptides improving glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in insulinoma cells. Overall, CKJ is superior to CSB in anti-diabetic action.
