Metabolomics research on the hepatoprotective effect of Angelica sinensis polysaccharides through gas chromatography–mass spectrometry

Angelica sinensis polysaccharides (ASP) have an established hepatoprotective effect, but the mechanism for this effect remains unclear. A novel approach using biochemical parameters coupled with metabolomics based on gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) and chemometrics was established in this study to explain the hepatoprotective effect mechanism of ASP. The superoxide dismutase activity, malonaldehyde content, alanine aminotransferase,...
