Abstract EN
Qushi Huayu Decoction (QHD), an important clinically proved herbal formula, has been reported to be effective in treating fatty liver induced by high-fat diet in rats.
However, the mechanism of action has not been clarified at the metabolic level.
In this study, a urinary metabolomic method based on gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) coupled with pattern recognition analysis was performed in three groups (control, model, and QHD group), to explore the effect of QHD on fatty liver and its mechanism of action.
There was obvious separation between the model group and control group, and the QHD group showed a tendency of recovering to the control group in metabolic profiles.
Twelve candidate biomarkers were identified and used to explore the possible mechanism.
Then, a pathway analysis was performed using MetaboAnalyst 3.0 to illustrate the pathways of therapeutic action of QHD.
QHD reversed the urinary metabolite abnormalities (tryptophan, uridine, and phenylalanine, etc.).
Fatty liver might be prevented by QHD through regulating the dysfunctions of phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan biosynthesis, phenylalanine metabolism, and tryptophan metabolism.
This work demonstrated that metabolomics might be helpful for understanding the mechanism of action of traditional Chinese medicine for future clinical evaluation.
