The anti-obesity effect of chokong, Rhynchosia nolubilis seeds Pickled in vinegars for 2 weeks at 4℃, was investigated. During the differentiation of 3T3-L1 adipocytes, the addition of ethanolic extracts of chokongs lowered the cellular triglyceride content by 8.1-9.0%, and glucose content by 12.2-27.6%, depending on the kinds of vinegar used. The activity of glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase also decreased up to 56.0-59.3% by supplying those extracts. In addition, vinegars were superior to acetic acid, citric acid, and hydrochloric acid solutions, and distilled water in anti-obesity of the pickled seeds.
