Our previous study found that Qiong-Yu-Gao (QYG), a traditional Chinese medicine formula derived from Rehmanniae Radix, Poria, and Ginseng Radix, has protective effects against cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury (AKI), but the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. In the present study, the potential role of gut microbiota in the nephroprotective...
Article
Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) play key roles in maintaining health and treating disease. Quantification of important fecal SCFAs is necessary to facilitate the clarification of their biological roles. However, the existing quantifying methods mainly depend on complicated precolumn derivatization, and/or are unable to determine formic acid, a SCFA...

... Radix Rehmanniae (RR) is the root of R. glutinosa [2], which is classified into the top grade by Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica. RR is employed in a variety of famous traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) prescriptions, such as Liuwei Dihuang Pill, Zhibai Dihuang Pill, Qiju Dihuang Pill, and Dihuang Yinzi, owing to its ability to nourish Yin and tonify the kidney [3,4]. There are three processing forms frequently used in clinic, including fresh Radix Rehmanniae (FRR), raw Radix Rehmanniae (RRR), and processed Radix Rehmanniae (PRR), with their pharmacological actions varying greatly from heatclearing to tonification [5]. ...
... Previous studies have proved that Rg1, one of the most abundant dammarane type ginsenosides, transformed to 24-sulfo-25-ene ginsenoside Rg1 (25-ene SRg1) and 24-sulfo-25-hydroxy ginsenoside Rg1 (25-OH SRg1) during sulfur-fumigation (Zhang et al., 2018), but with unclear generation mechanism. Of which, 25-ene SRg1 is one of the most abundance sulfur-containing ginsenosides, which is stably existed in sulfur-fumigated ginseng and its preparations (Liu, Wang, Zhu, Xu, et al., 2022;Zhang et al., 2018). Therefore, 25-ene SRg1 is a potential marker to identify sulfur-fumigated ginseng and its preparations. ...

Zou (SCFA-producing bacteria) and its metabolites (acetic acid, butyric acid). 104 Moreover, a potent acetic acid-producing bacterium, Desulfovibrio vulgaris, was identified as a potential biomarker for NAFLD remission based on co-housing experiment combined with bacterial screening by Hong et al. 23 ...
... Herbal medicines, derived from natural sources, have been utilized to prevent and treat various diseases and ailments for thousands of years (Jouyandeh et al., 2022;Liu et al., 2022). According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the demand and consumption of herbal medicine are on rise in both developed and developing countries (Liu et al., 2022;Yang et al., 2020;Zhu et al., 2021b). ...
... As it is known, among a wide range of exogenous antioxidants, polyphenols are one of the most effective classes of compounds possessing antioxidant properties. Numerous data of scientific literature regarding the polyphenolic profiles of the different Lamiaceae species demonstrated that rosmarinic acid is quite often their common major compound 14,[23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] . Thus, the ultra-performance liquid chromatography analysis of methanolic extracts from A. rugosa roots revealed the predominance of rosmarinic acid among 24 identified polyphenols 25 . ...

... It has been reported that the extracts of CP have several bioactivities, including anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, spasmolytic, and anti-asthma, etc. [8][9][10]. Our previous studies found that N-acetyldopamine oligomers were the main components that might be responsible for the activities of CP [11,12]. Moreover, amino acids have been reported as another type of bioactive component of CP [13]. ...
... After the oral administration of ginsenoside Rg3 in walker 256 tumorbearing rats, the areas under the plasma level/time curve (AUC) of Rg3 and Rh2 both decreased, which indicated that the transformation of Rg3 into Rh2 might also be inhibited [36]. Interestingly, even though immunosuppression can always be found in tumor environment, ginsenosides F2, Rg3, Rd, Rh1, Rg1 and CK were found to be more abundant in immunosuppressed rats [37]. Moreover, the mental disease can also affect the oral bioavailability of ginsenosides. ...
