However, the effect and mechanism of <em>Panax ginseng</em> polysaccharides (GP) on improving qi deficiency diabetes (QDD) is still unclear. In this study, a multi-omics approach integrating microbiomics, untargeted and targeted metabolomics was used to elucidate the protective effect and mechanisms of GP based on the QDD rat model. Furthermore, the prebiotic effects of GP were explored through microbiome and metabolome profiling. GP demonstrated significant therapeutic efficacy in QDD rats, manifested by the amelioration of hyperlipidemia and insulin resistance, reduction of oxidative stress, enhancement of immune responses, and restoration of intestinal injury. Untargeted fecal metabolomics and 16S rRNA gene sequencing revealed that GP significantly altered the abundance of 31 metabolites and corrected gut microbiota dysbiosis in QDD rats. Additionally, GP ameliorated bile acid metabolism disorders, significantly increased short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) levels, and reduced branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) concentrations. Spearman correlation analysis further confirmed significant associations between gut microbes and metabolites. Thus, GP exerts its therapeutic effect on QDD by ameliorating intestinal flora imbalance and associated metabolic disorders involving bile acids, branched-chain amino acids, and short-chain fatty acids. Together, these findings provide a foundation for the further development of GP-based functional foods.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":348,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chromatography B","volume":"1267 ","pages":"Article 124781"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144933188","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Surrogate peptides were evaluated for linearity and reproducibility across the therapeutic concentration range using immunopurification or ammonium sulfate precipitation. Using ammonium sulfate precipitation, linear calibration curves were validated over 10–500 μg/mL (LLOQ at 10 μg/mL) using stable isotope labeled peptide internal standards. Method accuracy and reproducibility were evaluated using quality control samples (QCs) at four concentrations in the linear range. The average concentrations of all QCs fell within ICH M10 acceptance criteria. Matrix effects were investigated at the low and high QC concentrations across six lots of human serum.

Based on CUCDP, a new HPLC method for simultaneous separation and determination of the above eight antihistamine enantiomers (<em>R</em>s = 1.58–1.92) in human plasma by gradient elution was established. The optimized conditions were as follows: a simple sample pretreatment with acetonitrile (ACN) to precipitate protein, a gradient elution of 0.5 % triethylammonium acetate (TEAA, pH = 4.0)-ACN as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min, column temperature at 20 °C, a photo-diode array detector (PDA) at 260 nm, and the sampling volume of 10 μL.
