Title | Incompatible effects of Panax ginseng and Veratrum nigrum on estrogen decline in rats using metabolomics and gut microbiota |
Overall design | The aim of this study was to examine the incompatible effects of Panax ginseng and Veratrum nigrum on estrogen decline in rats to better understand the adverse effects of inappropriate herbal combinations using metabolomics and gut microbiota. Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into the following 3 groups: (1) control group (sham operation, n = 13), (2) ovariectomy group (ovariectomy operation, n = 13), and (3) ovariectomy + Panax ginseng group (ovariectomy plus 6 g/kg Panax ginseng decoction, intragastrically, n = 12). After 7 weeks of administration, behavioral experiments were performed on all rats. A urinary metabolomics method was applied. |
