Mechanism of different processed products of Codonopsis pilosula on spleen deficiency rats based on 1H-NMR metabonomics / 中国中药杂志

ABSTRACT

Based on1 H-NMR metabonomics,the effects of Codonopsis pilosula,rice-fried C. pilosula and honey-fried C. pilosula on spleen-asthenia rats were compared,and the mechanism was discussed in this study. The rat model of spleen deficiency was established by weight-bearing swimming and fasting every other day. The effects of different processed products of C. pilosula on the body weight and swimming time of rats were observed. At the end of administration,the gastrocnemius muscle of the right leg of rats was collected and detected by1 H-NMR,and the mechanism of different processed products of C. pilosula in improving spleen deficiency was preliminarily investigated by multivariate statistical analysis. The results showed that C. pilosula,honey-fried C. pilosula and rice-fried C. pilosula could significantly prolong the swimming time( P<0. 05). There was no significant difference in the body weight of rats with spleen deficiency. The results of metabonomics showed that honey-processed C. pilosula could significantly decrease levels of leucine,isoleucine,alanine,acetate,glutamate,succinate,anserine,dimethylamine,dimethylglycine,creatine,phosphorylcholine,glycerophosphorylcholine,taurine,inosine,fumate,hypoxanthine and lactate,but increase levels of glucose,glycine,compared with model group. Therefore,honey-fried C. pilosula has the best efficacy on spleen deficiency syndrome in rats by regulating glycometabolism,amino acid metabolism,lipid metabolism and nucleotide metabolism.
